Extracts from Householu Accounts 260

Index 574

INTRODUCTION,

The present volume consists of three sections, dealing respec-
tively with —

(i.) Ancient Charters, Cartularies, &c.

(ii.) Letters and Papers, supplementary to those noticed
in the three previous volumes.

(iii.) Books of Household and other Accounts.

I.

The first of these sections has been prepared by Mr. J. H.
Round, who has prefixed to it some introductory remarks, and
has also supplied occasional notes upon the charters and cartu-
laries examined bj- him.

II.

The additional letters printed in the present volume include
some correspondence relating to the English expedition against
Scotland in 1549, when the second Earl of Rutland was Lord
Warden of the East and Middle Marches. They further illustrate
the difficulties caused by the employment of foreign mercenaries,^
and the desertions of the English troops, largely owing to their
repugnance to the monotonous duty of garrisoning the small
and insanitary forts of the time.^ The reins of government were
being wrested out of the hands of Somerset,^ and in view of the
social troubles during which his administration came to an end,
it is not surprising to find that the Earl sufi^ered from in-
sufficient supplies in men and money. He draws attention to

VI

his enoi-mous charges/ which cause him to regret sohciting a
command, and he expresses his inabihty to continue the great
drain upon his private resources.^

In a letter of 1590 the fifth Earl of Rutland, then an
undergraduate at Cambridge, refers to the bad state of the
roads between Belvoir and Cambridge, even in summer.^
There is another letter from Thomas Screvin, a trusted servant
of the family, regarding the Earl of Essex's conspiracy in
1601,'' in which the fifth Earl was involved. An interesting
paper, about 1620, draws attention to abuses in the church, and
contains suggestions for their reform.*^ It states that the name
of Puritan had become so odious that many persons simulated
vice or superstition in order to avoid being called by this name.
There are also some notes on legal abuses,^ in which, among
other things, the great growth in counsels' fees and in the
number of attorney's are animadverted upon.'' It states that
within the memory of a man then living there were only three
attorneys in Lincolnshire, against ten or twelve score at the time
when these notes were drawn up.** There are several letters of
Romish priests dealing with the negotiations with the Po^De prior
to the projected Spanish match of Prince Charles, which
illustrate the jealousy between the Benedictines and the Jesuits.''
In 16'2(), we have a letter from the Countess of Rutland describing
the hostile feelings of the Parliament towards Buckingham,^" her
husband's son-in-law. From the Civil Wars we have depositions,
referred to in a previous volume, ^"^^ regarding the violent conduct
of Sir Gervase Lucas, a former servant of the Earl, when he
seized Belvoir Castle for the King.^^

There is some further correspondence regarding Lord Lexing-
ton's diplomatic mission to the King of Denmark in 1693.^^ In
1706, a correspondent of the first Duke of Rutland, writing from
Newmarket, rejoices that no Jacobite Lord was present at the
race-meeting there." The list of Old Masters at Houghton in
1740 is worthy of note.^^

There is some military correspondence from America in
1763-6, some of which is addressed to the famous Marquis
of Granby, then Commander-in-Chief of the British army.^
In one letter, an English ofKicer gives his impressions of his
journey to West Florida.^ The volume includes two more
letters of the younger Pitt, in one of which he acknowledges
the Marquis of Granby's letter of condolence on his father's
death ;^ an account of the bad state of the defences of Ply-
mouth dockyard in 1779;* reports to the Duke of Eutland
of the proceedings of the Lord George Gordon rioters in
London; 5 and a letter of Sir Joshua Pieynolds, condoling
with the Luke upon the death of his brother. Lord Robert
Manners, who was killed in the sea fight off Dominica in 178'2,
and who is described by Eeynolds as " the most promising youth
in the whole navy."" A bill of this great artist for pictures
painted by him for the Duke or sold to him is of interest.'' In
this connexion the account of the acquisition of a painting by
Gerard Dow for the Duke,^ and of the repairs of a Murillo^ may
be mentioned. Finally, we may draw attention to the letters of
Captain Molloy,^" who commanded the line-of-battleship Casav at
the battle of the First of June, regarding the preparing and
sailing of the fleet and of the delays that occurred in the granting
of a court martial to enquire into his conduct at the battle, which
Lord Howe had censured.

III.

The extracts from the Household Books, which include one
belonging Sir Thomas Lovel, a prominent minister in the reigns of
Henry VII. and his son, bear bul an infinitesimal proportion to
the contents of the books themselves. The extracts illustrate
the stately housekeeping of a wealthy, noble family in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and bring before us the
great retinue of servants, many of them young men of good
families, maintained by the Earls of Eutland. The Appendix
contains an abstract of a book giving the names of those in the

"retinue" (using that word in the technical sense, so familiar
to students of constitutional history) of Sir Thomas Lovel.i xhey
number considerably over thirteen hundred.

The great number and variety of subjects of interest upon which
light is thrown by the extracts from the household books render
it imi^ossible to do more than draw attention to a few features in
them. Local and family history, social customs, the manner of
living, food, drink, the history of prices, trade, amusements,
costume, and innumerable other subjects receive illustration
from them. They contain many old terms, and are otherwise of
philological value. Amusements are well represented, including
bull-baiting,^ bear-baiting,^ dancing bears,^ cock-fighting,-' dog-
fighting," juggling,'' billiards,^ and tilting.^ Gambling, generally
for moderate stakes, frequently finds record in the payment of
losses ; the winnings do not appear, except in the form of deduc-
tions from money paid for losses. Horse racing and wagering
upon it was in high favour, and there is much matter in the latter
part of the seventeenth century that should be of value for the
history of racing and of several famous race meetings.

Earlier, there are payments to the boy-bishop,'-" to mummers,^^
for masques,^^ for Christmas plays,^^ and numerous gifts to
minstrels and companies of players belonging to neighbouring
noblemen, gentlemen and towns. In one case, the players come
from so far as Wigan." Eoyal players are found among the
recipients of the gifts of the Earls of Eutland.^^

A specially interesting entry records payments in 1613 to
Shakespeare and Richard Burbage, the former receiving 44s.
in gold for an "impreso" for the Earl, the latter a like
amount for painting and making it.^" The payments occur
among others for the preparations for a tournament which was
held on the '24th of March,^'' and the "impreso" seems to have
been a device and motto borne by the Earl. Shakespeare himself
uses the word in this sense in Richard the Tliird}^ On the

occasion of another tournament, Burbage receiveH payment "for
my Lorde's slielde and embleance."^ References to attendance
at playhouses in London occur about the same time.^

The numerous payments for tobacco and pipes, ^ the price
of the former sometimes running very high, show how widely
spread the use of this narcotic was among the nobility, and
how little effect King James's fulminations against its use
had, even in Court circles. There are interesting details of
the costs of travelling, and those relating to continental travel
throw light upon the methods of raising money abroad and
the costs of the conveyance of letters and parcels/ In 1670,
tea was a necessary part of the Earl of Rutland's equip-
ment foi' a journey in England.'

The accounts contain some interesting payments for books, ^
principally during the time of the third Earl, who was described
by Camden as " juris scientia et omni politiori eruditione
ornatissimus," a character supported by the nature of the books
bought by him. Randle Cotgrave is recorded to have received
a gratuity from the next Earl for presenting him with a copy of
his famous French Dictionary.'' There are numerous payments
in connexion with the education of this Earl's son at the
University Of Cambridge.'^ After the latter's succession to the
title, we find him making a gift to a poor scholar of (xrantham
"for his better furtherance to Cambridge ;"^ he bestows a gift
upon a young gentleman towards his tutor's fees in the
University;^" and he defrays the costs of burying a poor sizar,
Avhose College debts he paid." This Earl died at Cambridge.

The number of successful claimants upon the bounty of the
Earls of Rutland is very great. Officers of the Court share in
the receipt of gratuities, and such high officials as the Lord
Chief Justice, the Lord Privy Seal, and judges receive yearly
presents of plate. The Earls make presents on New Year's
Day to the sovereigns, receiving in return gifts from the royal
Jewel House, which by the time of James I. had become so
fixed in value that we have entries of the payment by the Earl

to the officers of the Jewel House of the excess in value of
certain cups.^ The Earls frequently receive presents from the
nobility, gentry, clergy, and others, which mostly take the form
of contributions to their table. Some of the presents, such as
buzzards,^ bustards,^ bitterns,^ sea-gulls,^ porpoises," and a
dish of minnows' arrest the attention of the modern reader.
Among the extracts are included a treatise, written in 1611, on
the provisioning of the Earl of Kutland"s household, in which
we find recorded the quantities and prices of the stores required,
the places whence they were obtained, notes on the measures
used, hints as to selecting and keeping them, and the like.^

The accounts include numerous payments to physicians and
apothecaries for their fees, and a curious entry of- a payment to
a " woman phisician at Bingham in the Vale."'' ^^'e find
evidence of the persistency in the belief in the medical efficacy
of precious stones in the payment in 1598 for two bezoar-stones,'"
which were esteemed as preservatives against poison. The
seventh Earl was somewhat more sceptical, for he buys two gray
stones "whose virtue is to "cure the stone in the bladder or
kidneys," on condition that he may return them after a twelve-
months' trial and receive l)ack most of what he had paid for
them." A new coach bought in 1598 was provided with a seat
and a l^ed inside. ^^ A Sedan chair was used in 1641 to convey a
dead body to Belvoir for burial. ^'^ The cost of the magnificent
Eutland tombs in Bottesford Church are recorded in the
accounts."

In art we have several payments for portraits, ^° including one
of the fifth Earl pre'sented to the notorious Mrs. Fitton.i" The
artists named in connexion with portraits are Mr, Ptak," Paul
A'ansomer,!^ William Larkins,''''Hosliins,''^*' Yandereyden,^^ and the
celebrated mhiiaturist Hilliard or Hildyard.'-'^ There is also a
reference to Inigo Jones as a "picture maker. "^'^ Young ladies
of the family buy ready-made clothing in Cheapside in 1652.''^*

Among the subjects of more general interest, attention may be
called to the expenses of the first Earl in accompanying
Henry YIII. to Calais in 1532,^ on the occasion of the meeting
with Francis I. of France, and in the expedition to Scotland in
154'2,'^ when he was Lord Warden of the Marches ; and the
detailed account of his son and successor, who was also Lord
Warden, of his expenditure during the expedition to Scotland in
1549-50 ;^ charges in connexion with the funeral of Mary, Queen
of Scotland ;* the lists of guests who dined with the fifth Earl on
the eve of Essex's conspiracy in 1601, and the account of the
provisions supplied to him during his imprisonment in the
Tower ;^ the costs of entertaining James I. on his visits to the
Earl at Belvoir in 1603,6 1612,' 1614,^ 1616,^ and 1621 i^" notes
of payment of the heavy dowry jjaid by the Earl to Buckingham,
upon his daughter's marriage to the latter ;" the details of the
fifth Earl's expenses during his voyage to Denmark in 1603,'^
whither he was dispatched by James I. to carry the order of the
Garter to the King of Denmark, the King's father-in-law ; and
also of his expenses during previous journeys to Holland in
ISBSis and to L-eland in 1599;" and of the sixth Earl to
Holland in 1619.'^ The sixth Earl was an " adventurer " for
2001. in the voyage to the River Amazon in 1619.^" In 1623, he
received payment from the crown for his " interteynement as
Lord Generall into Spaine " for 190 days from 1 May," whither
he went in the train of Charles 1. and of Buckingham, his
son-in-law. The passage of Charles L through Grantham in
August, 1641, on his momentous journey to Scotland, finds
record in the accounts. ^^

The extracts from the Household Accounts have been made by
Sir H. j\[axwell Lyte and Mr. W. H. Stevenson, and collated
throughout by the latter.

The index to the whole volume has been compiled by Mr. R.

THE MANUSCRIPTS OF HIS GRACE
THE DUKE OF RUTLAND, K.G.

VOL. IV.

CHAETEES, CAETUL ARIES, &c.

So far back as 1869, Mr. Horwood drew up for the Commission
a preliminary report on the contents of the muniment room at
Belvoir Castle. It was restricted, however, to a single page, nor
was the arrangement of the muniments at the time such as to
admit of systematic examination. A very great improvement has
now been effected. The gradual classification of the documents
has resulted in restricting the contents of the room almost
exclusively to muniments, comprising charters, deeds, cartularies,
and court-rolls. With the exception of the court-rolls, which
are now classified and arranged in drawers at the side of the
room, the great majority of the muniments are still preserved in
the numbered drawers described by Mr. Horwood as standing in
the centre of the room ; but they have been sorted into separate
packets, each of them labelled with the name of the place to
which they relate and entered in the manuscript catalogue
prepared by their late custodian, Mr. W. A. Carrington.
Although several thousand documents have had to be thus dealt
with, the whole, of this superb collection is now in perfect order,
and the services rendered to the topographer and genealogist by
Mr. Carrington's years of labour are very great. He had, I was
informed, in addition to his work among the muniments at
Belvoir, transcribed the whole of those which relate to Derby-
shire and indexed their contents.

As might be expected from the interesting fact that the historic
estate of Belvoir has descended to its present owner from its
Domesday tenant in cajntc, the collection is rich in early deeds;
but the number of these is partly due to the circumstance that
the Benedictine Priory, founded by the Domesday holder at the
foot of the castle hill, was obtained at the Dissolution by his
descendant the lord of Belvoir, who thus became possessed of the
charters granted by his ancestors to that foundation. Although
the early deeds relating to the possessions of this Priory and of
the lords of Belvoir are of much importance for local history,
Nichols, it is clear, had no access to them when he was writing

6802 A

his history of Leicestershire. Francis Peck, a former antiquary-
had made certain extracts from them, and Nichols was dependent
on these alone.

Another great division of the Duke's muniments relates to his
Derbyshire estates, inherited from the Vernons of Haddon, of
whom, as is well known, his Grace is a representative. These
are unfortunately divided at present, some being preserved at
Haddon Hall, to which place they were transferred in 1833, while
the rest are at Belvoir. Here again, as in Leicestershire, the bulk
of the family documents is swollen by monastic charters, those of
Darley Abbey being early and of some importance. No charters
of this abbey are mentioned in the Monasticon as at Belvoir.

The remainder of the muniments dealt with in this report can
only be described as miscellaneous. They relate to a singular
variety of districts, ranging, as they do, from Norfolk to Somerset,
and from Northumberland to the Isle of Wight.

In dealing with so vast a mass of material, it has only l)een
possible to make a selection and to notice those documents which
appeared to be of special interest to the historian, the topographer,
and the genealogist. Special attention has been paid to twelfth
century charters, in which this great collection is remarkably
rich. Henry I, Stephen, Henry II, Eichard I, and John are all
represented here by original charters. It also contains private
charters of the first half of the l'2th century. The early date of
some of these documents has, it may incidentally be observed,
been somewhat obscured hitherto owing to their having been
assigned to the 13th century. The exceedingly fine charter of
Henry II confirming an exchange of lands in Normandy and in
Berkshire was labelled and catalogued, I observed, as a charter
of Henry III, and the documents connected with it similarly
misdated in consequence, while a charter of Hugh, earl of
Norfolk, which is certainly not later than 1175, was tentatively
assigned to the reign of John. It has been endeavoured, in this
report, to date, as far as possible, the early documents dealt with
and to identify the places to which they relate. In exceptional
cases, also, notes have been added referring to other documents
with which they are closely connected, and which are helpful to
their comprehension.

I have deemed it desirable to divide into groups the documents
with which I have dealt, arranging each group in roughly chrono-
logical order. The luimber prefixed to any document is that of
the drawer to which it belongs ; the Iiitcr indicates that, when I
examined it, it was deposited in a certain receptacle. These
receptacles I have distinguished as follows : —

(a) Exhibition case in muniment room.

(b) Drawer of the above case.

(c) Exhibition case in library.

(d) Box shown to me as under the charge of Mr. Carrington.
(b) Box in the personal custody of his Grace the Duke of

Eutland.
The deeds at Haddon, which were examined by me separately,
are distinguished by an asterisk ^,ir added to the number of the

drawer at Belvoir to which they properly belonged.

A few words of introduction are prefixed to each group, but
attention may be specially drawn here to the occurrence of a
' Master J. Grim ' as master of the schools of Oxford in 1200, he
being so styled by the Pope and named in conjunction with the
priors of St. Frideswide's and Osney. This is an earher name of
a bearer of that important ofifice than any yet discovered.

The seals with which this collection abounds have been duly
noted where they are of interest, especially where they bear coat's
of arms. It is only right to mention that Mr. W. A. Carrington,
to whose valuable services I have referred above, came from
Derbyshire to Belvoir to meet me, and rendered me every
assistance in my examination of the muniments.

LEICESTERSIIIUE CHARTERS.

[1. Eastwbll Chartbes.J

The following charters are an important addition to the
accounts of Eastwell and Eaton, Leicestershire, given by Nichols,
to whom they were quite unknown. The appearance of an earl of
Norfolk as confirming a gift by an earl of Albemarle in Leicester-
shire is, at first sight, difficult to account for ; but the explanation
is this. The four carucates at Eastwell, dealt with in these
charters, were held under Henry I by Robert de Insula, with
lands in the adjoining parishes of Eaton and Branston.--' His
lands appear under Henry II, as " Honor Albrede de Insula," of
which the caimt was, probably, at Settrington. This Honour
was held in 1166 by Hugh, earl of Norfolk, under whom the earl
of Albemarle held five of its fees.

* Feudal England, p. 201 . Nichols, who knew nothing of this, imagined that
the origin of the name was that in later days "William de Fortibus, earl of
Albemarle, assumed the title also of de Insula, as husband of Isabel," heiress of the
Isle of Wight.

(16) April 1312. — Settlementof a dispute between Geoffrey rector
of the church of Estwelle [Eastwell] and the abbot and convent
of Gerouden [Garendon] concerning the tithe sheaves from four
carucates of land. The rector recognises the right of the said
monks to the tithes in question ; and they grant that he may
receive the tithes from their tenants so long as the lands are
leased, but should the lands so leased return into their own
hands they shall always be tithe-free ; and they also grant to
master Geoffrey de Deping, kinsman of the said rector, an annual
pension of twenty shillings. (A long document.)

[2. Miscellaneous Leicestebshiee Charters.]

The documents which follow relate to lands in Leicestershire.
The group of charters relating to Lubbesthorpe is noted because
their evidence is not in accordance with the account given by
Nichols (iv, 37-8). Another group relates to Muston and the
families of Colville and Charnels connected therewith. It is an
interesting feature of these Leicestershire charters that several
of the names which occur in them are those of knights and
Serjeants who were in Belvoir Castle when it was surrendered to
King John in 1215. t

f Nichols worked from Peck's transcript o{ this document, which gave the name
as "ostona," and assumed that it related to Muston, of which " Adulf de Braci,"
he says, was lord "in the reign of Henry II." (Vol. II., part 1, p. 286). But Aldulf
was not lord of Muston. His land was at South Croxton (Vol. Ill, part 1. p. 231).
to which (and not to Muston) this charter relates. Hugh de Charnellis, who was
chief of the knights at Belvoir Castle when it surrendered in 1215, was a party to

The following charter of liberties granted by William Gernun
to his burgesses of Bakewell appears to be quite unknown. It
is in singularly perfect preservation.

(4) 1286. — Charter of William Gernun, lord of Bakewell in the
Peak {BauqiielV in Pecho), granting for himself, his heirs and
assigns, to his dear burgesses and free tenants of Bakewell, their
heirs and assigns, all the following liberties or customs hitherto
enjoyed and observed by them. In the first place he grants to
all and each of them, their heirs and assigns, that they be free
of suit to his court of Bakewell, saving to himself and his heirs
one appearance on their part at his great court after Michaelmas,
to be held yearly within the said vill or manor by his bailiff,
so that, when lawfully summoned, they come to his court when
impleaded by one of themselves who has a just plaint {juste
conqncrentem), or when there is a great writ of right or a judgment
on a prisoner pending in his aforesaid court at which their presence
may be necessary. He also grants to them that they may give, be-
queath, sell or assign their burgages when they will and to whom
they will of the liberty of the said town without (obtaining) the
leave of himself, his heirs, successors, or bailiffs; and that they
may have such tenants as they will {i^i'o voluntate sua) within the
liberty of the said town ; and that their tenants may have free
common in the moors and other common pastures and waters as
they may themselves ordain, in proportion to their holdings,
without making any acknowledgment (aclvocatione) or recognition
to himself, his heirs, successors, or assigns ; and that all of the
liberty of the said town may freely and lawfully fish at their
will in the water called Weye and in other waters and streams
within his fee ; and that they may lawfully dig turves and
pluck up heather (hmcyani) within the moors and turbaries
belonging {spectantes) to the said town, for the necessity {susten-
tacionein) of their household and their houses, within the said
fee without any impediment or any claim (against them). He also
grants to them that they may have free common of pasture and
the right to cut and carry bracken (feiigere) in all his demesne
lands, saving his free court, so that, as soon as the hay shall have
been removed from his meadows and the crops Qjladmn) carried
from the fields, they may enter like himself into his said demesne
lands and meadows with their flocks and depasture their flocks
there without any impediment or any claim (against them),
saving to himself and his heirs the pasture of Aylwardholm from

42

the Purification till the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula*'* and saving
the pasture, with the bracken (feiuiera) of his wood of Quickesopt
from Michaelmas Day in September to Martinmas next ensuing.
He further grants to them that none of his bailiffs shall enter
their houses to make any distraint except for levying debt due to
the King when necessary. In addition to this he wills and
grants that any burgess may lawfully construct for himself on
his soil, and have freely when constructed, an oven in which he
may bake (dccoquat) bread, so long as he make not merchandise
of that bread ; and that every burgess shall be free from pay-
ment of toll ; and that none of the freeholders be distrained by
his bailiffs without award (warda) or judgement save for (the)
due ferm &c. for debt to the King, and that in such eases
distraint be made in due manner ; and that the same free
tenants may lawfully go where they will with their cloths to
have them fulled without claim (against them). He also wills
and grants to them that when they are lawfully summoned to
his court and judicially convicted of any default or trans-
gression, in accordance with the mode of amercing in use
among them any of them who is to be amerced for any
reason shall be amerced at threepence only each time, save
for the transgression of violent shedding of blood, in case
of which, on the complaint of the man thus injured, and having
been duly prosecuted for that crime, the man convicted in legal
form shall be amerced five shillings and fourpence, on com-
pensating the injured man for the damage inflicted on him. He
similarly wills and grants that when on the complaint of anyone,
or on the presentation of the ale-tasters (tastatorum), any ale-
wife (jxinilo.mtii.x) of the town of Bauquell' be summoned in due
form and convicted of the sale of weak beer or of (using an)
unjust measure, or for (any) other cause, she shall be, in accordance
with custom, amerced threepence only each time ; and should
any (ale-wife) be judicially convicted of having twice broken the
assize she shall be amerced threepence only for each occasion ;
and if she should break the assize a third time, and not have
been punished for it elsewhere, she shall sufi'er judgement in
accordance with the custom of the realm or shall make fine
(for her ofl'ence), saving to the said ale-wives two seasons of the
year, namely from the eve of the Assumption to the octave of the
feast, on account of the fair-time of the town of Bauquell, and
from Christmas eve to the feast of St. Hilary on account of
reverence for the feast of Christmas ; at which times they may
lawfully brew {pandd.rarc) and sell beer as may seem expedient
to them without claim (against them) by himself, his heirs
or assigns. He also wills and grants that the burgesses
may lawfully distrain their debtors within the liberty of Bauquell
for their admitted (n- a nj iritis) debts by their chattels found
therein in conjunction with his bailiff who shall be present; and
if he be not present, or not easily found, they may lawfully

43

arrest (arestare) the chattels of their debtors until the latter are
willing to justify themselves in the presence of his bailiffs by
satisfying their admitted debts. He grants moreover to the
same (burgesses) that after their decease their heirs may
lawfully enter their burgages and hold them (habere) without any
exaction or impediment in the name of him or his ; and that they
may answer before the justices and elsewhere in (all) matters
which concern the town or liberty of Bauquell by twelve free-
(men) as they have been accustomed (to do). And if anyone
be taken and detained within the fee or liberty of Bauquell
for larceny or other offence {iniqn.itatem) or felony, he wills
and grants that, in accordance with ancient custom, that
person shall be kept in his prison at his costs and risk until
judgement be passed {adjndicetur) by his court; and if he ought
to be taken to the King's gaol, it shall be similarly at his
(William's) costs and risk, and he shall be handed over to the
sheriff or other person in charge (tenenti). He grants moreover
to the same burgesses that the tithing-men {dezenavii) and ale-
tasters [tastatores eererisie) shall be chosen by the commonalty
{eomminiitatem) of the town; and that the tithing-men shall them-
selves present at the great court the pleas of the Crown [defectus
spectantes ad Coronam) and the ale-tasters, at any court, the
defaults of beer ; and that the burgesses and free-holders of the
said town shall present to his bailiff suitable millers, so that the
master miller, having been admitted and accepted by his bailiff,
shall be supported at his costs, and the other lesser millers at
the costs of those whose wheat is ground {molencinm) at the
mill. He also wills and grants that his millers shall faithfully
observe at his mill the days and hours assigned to them by the
burgesses (eosdem) for milling, so long as no sudden impediment
should arise through the breaking of the mill, or through his
wheat or that of the rector of Bauquell arriving unexpectedly,
to prevent the observing of the hours previously assigned ;
and if in any but the cases aforesaid the hours assigned
for milling be not observed, he grants to those who come
to his mill with wheat to be ground that, without payment
of multure or claim (against them), they may lawfully go
to another mill with their wheat. He also grants to the
same (burgesses) that no regrators of eatables or drink
shall buy to sell again (ad mcirandnm) before the first
hour, and that no foreign traders shall sell flesh or fish
within the liberty of the town of Bauquell so long as the native
traders can provide sufficient flesh and fish for those who come
to market. For this grant and for the confirmation of all the
aforesaid (privileges) he has received from the commonalty of the
said town ten marcs sterling. Wherefore he wills and finally
(omnino) grants for himself, his heirs, and assigns, that all and
singular the burgesses and free holders of the said town of
Bauquell and their heirs and assigns shall have for ever freely
and in peace and shall inviolably enjoy, without any opposition
or claim on the part of himself, his heirs, or assigns, all the
aforesaid liberties and customs as is aforesaid.

this payment a charter rnteofang him in a moiety of a messuage and 10 acres at

The following Sempringham charters are important for the
pedigree of Brailsford. The knight's fee held by that family
under Ferrers lay half in Brailsford and half in Wmgerworth (co.
Derby), and although the grantors of the charters below style
themselves 'de Wingelwrthe,' the first was evidently the brother
and heir of Henry de Brailsford who held the fee m 1166 {Liber
Rnheus p. 338). This conclusion is confirmed by the legend on
his son's seal.

The charters which follow relate to the Cambridgeshire family
of L'Isle. Except the first, they all deal with the baronial
family of Lisle of Rougemoht, descended from a younger brother
of Warin Fitz Gerald [sec p. 55 above), and are of importance
for its later pedigree (which is only carried down to 1394 in
Baker's Xnrtlianiptonshii-e, I. 619-620) and, consequently, for the
descent of their barony.

§ This document is of some genealogical importance, for it overthrows the
pedigrees of the Roos of Hamelak and Grey de Ruthyn families in the Complete
Peerage. The Countess of Desmond who married Thomas Lord Roos is there
named Margaret, and licginald Lord Grey de Ruthyn is made to marry her grand
daughter (daughter of William Lord Roos). It is clear from this document
that he married her daughter, so that she was his mother (in law) and her son
John, Lord Roos. his brother (in law). The allusion to the Cantelu relationship
is also noteworthy in connexion with Lord Grey de Kuthyn's succession in this
year to the Hastings family as heir of the whole blood.

II Hia use of this style is of importance.

BELVOIR PRIORY CHARTERS.

After an abstract had been made of the cartulary of Belvoir
Priory (which the Duke kindly allowed to be deposited at the
Record Office for that purpose), it was found that the muniment
room at Belvoir contained the originals of several of the documents
entered in that volume. Some of the earlier and more important
of these have been selected for special treatment ; others have
been collated with the transcripts of them in the cartulary and
the additional witnesses they supply have been duly noted. The
first fourteen of the documents below belong to the 12th century,
and it may safely be said that none of them is later than the
reign of Henry II. There are several others of the same period
relating to the priory, and attention may be specially drawn to
the double charter described on p. 130 below. These documents
are followed by a few of later date including a curious deposition,
in English, by a monk of the house, after its dissolution,
throwing light on its condition in its last days.

and St. Swithun and E[ ] dean of Winchester that they

have received a mandate from the Pope as follows : —

Gregory [IX.] to the said parties. Thomas rector of the
church of Wlesthorp complains that the abbot and convent of
St. Albans and the prior of St. Frideswide {Fretkeswitli') and
certain others, clerks and lay, of the diocese of Lincoln, are
wronging him in the matter of tithes and other things belonging
to his church. They are to convoke the parties, hear the case,

Laterani VII. kal. Febr. pontificatus nostri anno prime [26
Jan. 1228] .

They have therefore solemnly summoned the prior and convent
of Bel [voir] at the instance of Thomas, and the dispute has been
thus settled as between the churches of Wlestorp and Bel-
V [oir] : Thomas has promised for himself and his successors
that, for the tithes in question, they will yearly give to the church
in Belvoir at All Saints a wax candle of two pounds' (weight) of
fine wax; and the prior and convent have renounced for them-
selves and their successors all right to the tithes from the land of
the church of Wlesthorp.

THE BELVOIli CARTULARY.

Belvoir Priory was founded, as a cell of St. Alban's Abbey, by
Robert de'Todeni' (i.e. Tosny) the Domesday lord of Belvoir,
who held lands, as a tenant-in-chief, in eleven English counties.
At the Dissolution its possessions passed to the founder's
descendant, the earl of Eutland, ancestor of His Grace the Duke
of Rutland, to whom the cartulary now belongs. It has therefore
always been in proper custody. The volume is one of exceptional
size, the folios measuring 19 ins. by 14 ins. The original portion
consists of a hundred folios, and was written, apparently, in the
time of Henry IV., but in imitation of an antique hand. It is
probable that the scribe found himself, at times, unable to read
the documents before him, as he makes some unintelligible
mistakes in letters, and even in words, going so far, in one
instance, as to read "Andreas" for "auditis." He also, as was
occasionally done, extended " T[heobaldus] " wrongly as
"Thomas."

The most important, historically, of these documents is that
which brings together John of Salisbury and Henry of Hunting-
don the historian, at a date which, from the abbot of Peterborough's
name, cannot be placed earlier than 1155, while from that of
Henry it can scarcely be later. Evidence, at this period, of the
presence of John of Salisbury is of value for its bearing on his
movements in connection with Adrian's Bull.

But the chief interest of the cartulary is found in its solution
of a great problem in Anglo-Norman genealogy. It has been
accepted as a fact no less by modern writers''* than by the older
antiquaries, such as Dugdalef and Nichols,t that William " de
Albini Brito," lord of Belvoir, was the eldest son and successor
of Kobert "de Todeni." It is proved beyond question by the
documents in this cartulary that he was, on the con-
trary, the husband of Cecily " de Belvoir," a granddaughter
of Robert " de Todeni," whose mother obtained Belvoir
in or before 1129. The chart pedigree subjoined will
make the matter clear, and will show how almost inconceivably
erroneous is that which is given by Dugdale and Nichols. The
fundamental error was their confusion of William de " Todeni,"
son of the founder, with William " de Albini Brito," who married
his niece, and who was thus distinguished as taking his name
from a Breton Aubigny, while William " de Albini Pincerna,"
founder of the earls of Arundel, derived from the Cotentin. The
responsibility, however, for the further error of making Cecily the
wife of her son lies with the monks themselves. § The fact that
Maud de " Sancto Licio" and her brother-in-law Robert de
" Totenia " adopted respectively the maiden names of their mother
and grandmother, should be specially observed, for, in both cases,
it utterly misled Dugdale and those who have followed him.||
Nor, indeed, is the existence of such a practice widely known.

The following brief j)edigree is essential for the comprehension
of the documents : —

But although the pedigree is thus estabhshecl, and the descent
of the Duke of Eutland from the Domesday holder of Belvoir
proved in an unbroken line, the history of the fief under Henry I.
is by no means clear. The " Leicestershire Survey," published
by the writer,* proves that William " de Albini Brito " was in
possession before (apparently) the wife of Koger Bigot obtained
Belvoir. i But it may, perhaps, be inferred from that survey that
a large part of " the fee of Belvoir " was then in the king's hands,
while part had been bestowed on William. It is clear, in any
case, from these charters that Cecily had rights of her own,
through her mother, apart from hLr husband. Attention may
also be drawn to the charters of the earl of Chester, implying, as
they do, his possession of the fief in Stephen's time. It has been
shown by the writer, | from other evidence, that the earl was
actually granted the fief, and that Belvoir was, for him, a point
of strategical importance. These charters connect him with the
fief before the death of the bishop of Lincoln in 1147.

It will be found that several of the names occurring in these
charters are of a Breton character, which points to William de
Albini "Brito" being accompanied, like Alan Fitz Flaald, by
some of his fellow-countrymen when he settled in England.
Among these were his relatives Iwen and Helias ' de Albini,'
and Iwen's brother, Geoffrey de Chauenni, which last name is
here disguised under a great variety of forms. It was probably
derived from Chauvigne (canton d'Antrain), some ten miles
N.E. of Aubigne (canton de St. Aubin d'Aubigne) in the Depart-
ment of Ille-et-Vilaine. The origin of the house feudally known
as ' Albini Brito ' would seem to be thus determined.

The fact that Nichols, the historian of Leicestershire, who
dealt so fully with Belvoir, was wholly at sea on the pedigree of
its Norman lords would suffice of itself to show that he was not
acquainted with this volume. As a matter of fact, he was
dependent here, as for Croxton Abbey, on second-hand information,
namely the collections of Mr. Peck, now in the British Museum,
and some transcripts made by Dr. Vernon. The references to
his pages in this report relate to his appendix on Belvoir Priory
printed at the close of his "Framland" volume.§

enclowment._ They are therefore to possess their manor of Horn-
ingwold as in the times of their predecessors, and no one is to
interfere with them therein except through himself ; and Helde-
win their man is to deal with it as in the time of William de
Albineio, if the monks so will it.*

. Notification by [Theobald] , archbishop of Canterbury,

primate and legate, that it has been thus settled concerning the
church of Horningwold, between the monks of Belvoir and

paying the monks a marc yearly ; and after his death the monks
are to hold the church to their own use, at the disposition of the
prior.

. Precept of the same addressed to R [obert] , bishop of

Lincoln. As Geoffrey de Normanvilla, who had appealed to him
in his case against the monks of Belvoir for the church of
Horningwald, neither appeared on the day of [hearing] the
appeal, nor sent excuse for his absence, while the monks appeared
with deeds and witnesses, they are to hold that church in peace,
and be no more impleaded therein.

the dispute between the monks of Belvoir and Gilbert parson of
HaltonJ and Geoffrey de Normanvilla concerning the church of
Horningewalt has been thus settled before him. Geoffrey has

jection of the church to that of Halton, and openly confessed that
he had wrongly troubled the monks. The bishop therefore

made a purpresture, outside the priory's gates, in a road leading
from the churchyard of Beauv[er] to " Schyremere " lying
between the counties of Lincoln and Leicester ■■' to the injury of
lord de Eoos and his tenants. The prior pleaded in court that
the place was a free tenement of the priory by a charter of Simon
de Roppesle,t and called his tenants to witness. ■■ They further
testified that there are only three public roads (tie re<jis)
in the vill of Beauv[er], namely Westgate, Salt'lane,
and another. And this was proved before the king's coroner
of Leicestershire at Bottillesford, by the fact that when
Richard Bek feloniously slew John de Byngham of Thurv'ton
"Webbester," — which Eichard was straightway seized and im-
prisoned, and afterwards fled to the church of Bottisford, the
said coroner came to the church, and Eichard abjured the realm
in his presence, and the coroner assigned to him the port of
Dover to cross from, and told the constable of the vill of
Bottisford to conduct him to the next vill, namely Beauv[er],
by the " king's road," and the said constable led him by " king's
roads," namely Stongate, to Westgate of the vill of Beauv[er]
and thence the constable of Beauv[er] led him similarly by
" king's roads " to the next vill.

COURT ROLLS OF BELVOIR PRIORY.

A volume even larger than the cartulary of the Priory, its
leaves measuring 20 ins. by 14f ins., and of which the nature
has been hitherto unknown, proved on examination to contain
extracts made, apparently, in the time of Henry VI. from the
rolls then existing of two courts held by the Seneschal of the
Prior of Belvoir, one of them at Belvoir for the bulk of his
tenants,''* the other at Tallington in Lincolnshire. This volume
was originally bound, but its covers have long disappeared, with
the result that its outside folios are in a very bad state. The
whole volume indeed is urgently in need of repair. A note on
the first and last folios records that it was produced in Chancery
5 Nov. 1770.

The writing on the first page has been almost obliterated,
large portions of folios 2 and 4 torn off, and folio 3 entirely
removed. I discovered folios 9 and 16 in another part of
the volume, and replaced them in position, but folios 10-15 seem
to have entirely disappeared. Folios 167, 168 have been placed,
by an error of the binder, between fos. 137 and 138. The initial
letter ' E ' on the first page can still be distinguished and
evidently formed part of the heading which is prefixed for each
reign to the extracts made from the rolls belonging to it.

The earliest court of which the date can now be deciphered
was held at Michaelmas 36 Hen. III. (1252). It should however
be observed that the court immediately preceding it is assigned
to 1256. These two courts are entered on the dorse of fo. 1,
and the places mentioned are Belvoir, Denton, Aslacton, Bottles-
ford, Branston, and Waltham (on-the-Wold). The court rolls for
Henry III.'s reign end on the dorse of fo. 9 with a court held
25 July 1268. Those of Edward I. begin on fo. 16 in the 1st year
of his reign (15 Nov. 1273). t The entries are of no special
interest except for their early date and for the fact that this
court was attended by the Prior's tenants from such scattered
parishes as Clawson, Hungerton, Muston, Barston, Hose,
Stathern, Woolsthorp, Wywell, and Redmile, in addition to those
enumerated above. The courts were usually held at intervals of
three weeks or a month, and the first described in its heading as
"with view of frankpledge " is one of 1291.

Names of Priors of Belvoir can occasionally be recovered from
the entries, as on fo. 133, where is transcribed a charter of
Michaelmas 1374, by which Prior Eichard leases to Arnald vicar
of Clawson for six years two messuages and a virgate at Clawson
for 17''' 4'^- a year and suit of court twice a year at Belvoir. It

f It is noted by the trauscriber that the rolls for the 26th, 27th and 28th years of
the reign are missing.

173

is noted that the vicar gave 12 cockerels for entry. But their
names are not recorded in the headings of the courts till May
1384, when a court is headed "View of frankpledge with the great
court of Sir Kichard, prior of Belvoir." Prior Stephen first
appears 13 June 1386, and last in November 1390 ; Prior
Simon first in December 1390, and last at Michaelmas 1396 ;
Prior John first on •24 May 1397, and last in December 1399 ;
Prior William first at Christmas 1400, and last at Whitsuntide
1408; William Halle first at Michaelmas 1412, and last in
April 1414 ;* John Gildeford first in November 1414, and last
in October 1423 ; William Alnewycke first and last in October
1435 ; John Whyteby first 15 April 1437, and last in October
1437, being the latest date of a court recorded in this volume.

The second and smaller portion of the volume is devoted to the
rolls of the court at Tallington, which extend from Michaelmas
2 Edw. I. (1274) to May 1416, but the folios are in a bad state
towards the end. In this court the presentments were made by
four tithing men {deccnnarii) ot frayu-iphgii. There is frequent
mention in its rolls of the " Warefee" {or feodum de Ware) which
occurs in one of the cartulary documents.! It is worth noting
that under Edward I. the "relief " or " heriot " on succession to
an acre of this " Warefee," whether arable or meadow, was a
fixed sum of no less than sixteen shillings. A roll of 9 Ed. III.
records the permission to Thomas son of Geoffrey Bele to go to
school, receive the tonsure, and be ordained.

FRAGMENT OF A BELVOIR CARTULARY.

Twelve loose folios of a cartulary of Belvoir Priory containing
charters relating to Sapperton etc., Stathern, Colwick, Wywell
and Hungerston, Muston, and Horningwold. One folio contains
a lengthy document, not in the large cartulary, recording an
arbitration (July 1233) in Redmile Church between Belvoir
Priory and Roger, rector of Eedmile, by Hamo, canon of
Croxton, and Master R. de Herdeby, rector of Croxton, concerning
two-thirds of the tithes from 1 carucate in Eedmile belonging to
William de ' Aubeny ' in demesne. The sworn parishioners
deposed that the ' selions ' of which the carucate was composed
lay partly in the south field and partly in the north field.
The portions of these fields in which they severally lay are all
mentioned by name.

* There is nothing to show whether he was or was not identical with the
' William " preceding.

CROXTOX ABBEY RECORDS.

These records consist of two cartularies and a roll. The larger
cartulary, of which the folios measure about 8^ x 6 J ins., has
fallen to pieces, and had to be reconstituted by me, the folios
being all in confusion. The smaller volume, of which the folios
measure some 6X3^ ins., is intact in its original binding.
The roll consists of three membranes. As Croxton Abbey, with
its possessions, was granted to the Earl of Eutland in 1539 (30
Hen. VIII.), these documents have always been in proper
custody.*

Dodsworth's MSS. contain extracts from both cartularies, but
they are chiefly known through Peck's MSS. (vols. 1., II.), iir
the British Museum, on which, and on Dr. Vernon's transcript,*
was based " the very elaborate account of Croxton Abbey pub-
lished by Mr. Nichols in his History of Leicestershire, Vol. II.,
part 1, pp. 151-7, with the appendix to that account. No. XI.,
pp. 77-104." t

Vol. II. of Peck's MSS. contains a transcript J of the larger
cartulary fos. 1-39, and Vol. I. has extracts from the smaller one.i
Practically the whole of the information relating to Leicester-
shire contained in both cartularies is given in Nichols' work
relating to the county, although not on a uniform plan, so that
it is much scattered among various parishes.

The most important correction to be made in the history of
the Abbey is in the name and date of its alleged founder. His
name is wrongly given in the Monasticon and by Tanner as
Ingeram " Porcarius de Linus," and the smaller cartulary asserts
that he "venit ad conquestum" (fo. 36), although it immediately
proceeds to state that Henry II. made an exchange of lands with
him. The name is written quite clearly on fo. 39, and is
" portarius de Liuns." " Engerannus Portarius " appears on
the Pioll of the Norman Exchequer for 1180 as having the
custody of the castle of Beauvoir-en-Lions with that part of the

• It is alleged in the ilonastieon (VI. 876) that " there is a Register of Croxton in
the Library of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos at Stow." But this
appears to be only a copy made in 1755 (Brit. Mus. Catalogue of Stowe MSS. p. 88).
It is therefore the transcript spoken of by Nichols (History of Leicesterxldre II [1]
App. p. 77, note) as having been "made by Dr. Vernon in 1755, and now in the
collection of Thomas Astle, Esq."

f Monaxticon, IV., 876. These references omit the extensive extracts made by
Nichols under the parishes with which the Abbey was connected.

§ On fo. 39rf. of this smaller cartulary Peck has written-in the margin, against the
words ' Rex Henrious qui nunc est' the following note: — " Scriptus tuit hie Codex
MS. Tempore H. Regis III. F. Peck,"

forest of Lions which bordered on the ^^ai/^ d'' Bray.'-' The name
appears on the English Pipe Eolls both as ' Portarius ' and as
' Janitor.' t As Enguerrand did not obtain his land at Croxton
(Kerrial) till 1176 the Abbey cannot have been founded by him
before that date. It is certain, however, from the evidence on
fos. 39d-40 of the smaller cartulary and on the roll that the real
founder was William ' Count of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warenne,'
who bore these titles 1154-1159, and who gave the brethren 'the
waste land behind the park and round about the spring called
Haliwelle on either side of the valley,' etc., etc., ' to construct there
their abbey,' together with ' forty acres towards Salteby and all
the waste land at the three ditches.' He further gave them the
church of Croxton with its endowments and one carucate of
demesne. And this benefaction was confirmed by King Henry H. +
and by John Count of Mortain, the latter having received the
' Honour of Lancaster,' which the Count of Boulogne had held,
from his brother Eichard. Croxton had not originally formed
part of that honour, but was among the Crown lands bestowed
on Stephen, Count William's father, by Henry I.ij The endow-
ments of the abbey at Lowne and Hault Hucknall, co. Derby, |
similarly dated from the days of Count William, the same
document stating that they were given l)y his ' men.' (Nether)
Broughton (co. Leic.) had, like Croxton, been among the Crown
lands bestowed by Henry I. on his nephew Stephen, IT and
• came thus to form part of the ' Honour of Lancaster,' and this
accounts for the benefaction there by Pdchard Bussell, the baron
of Penwortham (who held it), to the abbey at its foundation, and
for the entry in the smaller cartulary and (in duplicate) on the
roll that each bovate there paid a penny a year "to the ward
of Lancaster " (castle).

Nichols realised that the Count of Boulogne must have been
the true founder of the Abbey, but asserted that William
Parcarius '••'* {sic), the son of Ingelram, "completed the muni-
ficent plan of his predecessor by finishing their building in 11G2,''
though it was not, as we hav§ seen, till 1176 that even Ingelram,
his father, first came to Croxton. Moreover it was not from
Ingelram, but from William and Hugh his sons, that the abbey
received further endowments.

So far as the Leicestershire estates of the abbey are concerned,
Nichols has practically exhausted all information of importance in
the cartularies, but the smaller one contains a singular feature in

the short history of each parish with which its accounts begin.
These being scattered in Nichols' work, it may be of use to bring
together the total assessments for each parish with which these
narratives open. These are as follows :— Broughton, 12 caru-
cates ; Hose, 12 carucates ; Long Clawson, 16 carucates ;
Eaton, 12 carucates ; Branston, 12 carucates ; Croxton Kerrial,
24 carucates ; Salteby (4) and Bescoby (2), 6 carucates ; Wal-
tham on the Wolds, 16 carucates ; Sproxton, 12 carucates. These
figures strongly support the theory of the duodecimal assessment
of the county.**

The Small Cahtulaey.

The smaller cartulary is composed thus : —

fos. 1-14. Broughton (Leic).

fos. 14rf-20. Hose (Leic).

fos. 20rf-21. Long Clawson (Leic.) " et Eoppele."

fos. 21d-Md. Eaton (Leic).

fo. 67. Sproxton (Leic).

fo. 67d. Humberston (Leic).

fo. 67d-68d. Sharnford (Leic).

fos. 69-70. Skeffington (Leic).

The first part of the cartulary ends on fo. 70, and the hand
then changes. On fos. 73-TBd is a fragment of a formulary for
monastic use of the usual kind. On fo. 83 begins abruptly a
repertory of charters of the abbey, and of notes concerning gifts
made to it, including the churches of South Croxton, Sproxton,
Lowne, and Tunstall (York.), the gift of "Lund" being confirmed
by Geoffrey bishop of Coventry (1198-1208), and that of Tunstall
by Eoger archbishop of York (1154-1181) and Godfrey de Luci,
archdeacon of Kichmond. The repertory of charters and bulls
ends on fo. 89. On fos. 90-91b are some notes, in a later hand,
on the transmutation of metals. The formulary re-commences
on fo. 95 and occupies the rest of the volume, ending on
fo. 149?^.

The larger cartulary is compiled on a different plan. Begin-
ning its account of each estate with which the abbey was

connected with the words ' Habeinns in,' it records the name
of the benefactor from whom the estate was derived and those
of the tenants holding it at the time of the compilation, that is
to say towards the end of the reign of Hen. III. A careful

fos. 46-60. A Eental in a totally different hand and appearing

features of interest, being barely a bare list of tenants and their
rents. Under Croxton [fo. 46rf] there is incidental mention
of an altar of St. Guthlac in the abbey. A blank on fo. 57d is
utilised by the entry of a manumission, by William abbot of
Croxton, of Thomas son of John P»andolf of Branston the elder,
otherwise called John Dawson of Waltham, and of William his
brother, Sunday after St. Thomas the Martyr, 10 Henry IV.
There are later notes also on fo. 59.

fo. 61-83. These 23 folios have similarly been a separate
fasciculus. They contain a rental of the abbey lands made in

The Eoll.

The contents of this roll are largely identical with the relative
entries in the smaller cartulary. Thus fo. &ld of the latter and
the first line of the roll begin " Memorandum quod dominus de
A''erdon," and continue identical through Humberston, Sharn-
ford, and Skeffington, though only some of the matter in the
cartulary is reproduced on the roll. The latter then proceeds
similarly with Hose, South Croxton, Panton, Sproxton, Eyton,
Eastwell, Statherne, Plungar and Barkstone, Long Clawson and
'Eoppele', Barrowby (' Bergeby '), Broughton, Waltham, Bran-
tiston. Salt by and Bescoby, Stapleford, Croxton (Kyrial).'*

Of the information in the roll supplementing that in the small
cartulary it may be noted that " in Eastwell and Suaniton and
Eaton " there were six carucates ' of the fee of Arraby,' constitu-
ting half a knight's fee, and that in Plungar and Barkeston there
were 7 carucates and one virgate constituting one fee. Under
these latter places the following pedigree is given : —

* Of these places, South Croxton, Panton, Eastwell, Statherne, Plungar and
Barkston, Bai-rowby and Stapleford are not found in the small cartulary.

182

Barrowby is entered as 16 carueates and 16 bovates ' of the
Honour of' Eye,' constituting one fee. There are entries in
several places of the jDayments due for sherifi''s aid and for
castle-ward to Belvoir.

On the dorse of this roll are entered notes of charters relating
to Humberston, Saxilby, Leicester, Sproxton, Enderby, Med-
bourne, Leicester, Castingthorp, Denton, Scaldwell, Long Clawson,
and Gergrave. Of these the most important by far is a Leicester
charter to which " Peter son of Eoger, alderman of Leicester," is a
witness, for this Peter is the first known mayor of the town,
and is so styled in a charter of 1251-2. The previous title of
the ruler of the town appears to have been " Alderman of
Leicester,'"'' but this document seems to be the first in which
Peter son of Eoger is found bearing that title. Several of the
other documents are charters of manumission, in which the
expression for manumitting is " libertati donasse," and the
reserved payment is that of a pound or half a pound of incense
at the altar within the quinzaine of St. Botolph, but in one it is
sixpence or a pound of wax on the feast of SS. Philip and James,
while in the case of an Enderby neif given by Oliver de Aubeney
as a bequest with his body (for burial), the convent, at Oliver's
prayer, manumitted him for ten shillings a year.

At the foot of these notes of charters is written in another
hand the well-known glossary of terms beginning " M [on] de-
briche hoc est Trespas vers seignur." This version is one of
those which ends with the word " Them," and it omits
Miskenning. Although it appears to be distinct from other
known versions, it displays a close affinity to that in Harl. MS.
1005 and especially to its interlineations. + By the side of this
glossary is transcribed, in yet another hand, the bull of
Innocent (IV.) dated at Lyons 2 kal. June in his 7th year (1250)
in favour of the Order of Premontre, with a note that it was at
Newhouse (the first house of the order in England).

perchaunce attempt some thinges prejudicial! to his Highnes'
peeces in Scotland and others upon the frontiers there, we have
thought good botbe to advertise you of the premisses and" also to

circumspection, care and diligence for the preservacon of the

here presently stand in better estate then they have byn all this

and the vittellin'g of the fortes, the vittelles here are gretely
consumed, for of these there remayneth scarce xxx waies of
butter, XX barrels of malt, little store, and befe and bacon non.
So though at this present the fortes be well furnished with vittell,
yet the masse so consumeth as of necessitie a spedie ordre is to
be taken for supplie of the same. The men of warre also here must
be vittelled, which in this barren countrie without the Kinge's
majeste's provision is not to be gotten. And in dede the Bngleshe
men here be verey fewe in nombre and daily decrease by sicknes
and ronning away ; albeit the captens for their enterteynement
sake can be contented to abyde, generally all men eschue fortes for
the misery and sicknes in them, and yet at this present they be
indifferently replenished. But what by death and ronning away
they can not long abyde in this state, so it behovith that they be
supplied continually. To put straungers into them, besides that
it is daungerous,they cannot [be] perswaded ther unto. And for
the relief of suche as be now in them it shal be necessary to sende
hither out of hand a thousand fresh EngHshe men. _ Which done

the extraordynary charges considryd, the Kyng shall set even with
all men, and thinges procedein good ordre; but one thing I must
renue agayne to your L [ordships'] remembrances for supplie of,
for men to put in the fortes, in the which is such discommodyte
of lodging and other thinges that men with great diffycultie be
gotten theyer and with greater labor kept ther, so that this
wynter the men must be renued at the lest every six wekes with
English, for the strangers cannot be gotten theyer. Please it
your Lordships also to consyder that our holl force in maner
consysteth of strangers, and thei, be reason thei knowe our case,
become somewhat orgulous and grate upon the Kyng and requyre
newe thinges, and when we stand in present nede of ther
servyse, we ar enforced somtyme to grant to ther requestes,
and the rather because all thinges be so deare for them and
ther discomodyties so great. I shall requyre your L [ordships']
pleasure for the plaeyng of thiese straungers this wynter time, for I
ensure your Lordships this country is insuffycyent to lodge and
feade the one quarter of them this wynter. If thei contynue her
any while, thei will laye the more part of Northumberland wast and
do more harme then the power of the enemyes were habl to do
unto them. Courtpenyng, having procured the late Protectour's
lycens, proposeth to depart, and with him ther goeth dyvers of
the most honest and principall men, and he with great polycye
and labor having kept them in good order hetherto, it is to be
feared that after his departure ther wil be some altrecacion
emonges them. Great busynes we have had of late to cause them
tarye, for a great part of themdesyredpasseportes then. For want
of suffycyent covenauntes made with Waltherthom,* the Kynge's
Majestie besides a moneth wages paieth upon his sixe ensignes
xviij gelders monthly above the composition made with Court-
penyng and besides ther ship freight.

next under God must all be attributed, for by her ynfynite mercy,
his lief, his blood, his dignitie and all is lyke to be preserved safe,

thus much; he hath well declared the love he hath borne to your
howse, and by his helpe, you do all receave comfort. The ende wil
be thus, his Lordship must show a duety and thankefulnes and
pay somwhat for his fault by way of fyne to her Majesty ; what
that wil be is yet unknown, but whatever yt be, yt is a happines
that he so escapes all further daunger.

" I sent lately letters from the Lords of the Counsel to the
sheriffes of the counties of York, Lincoln, Leicester and Notting-
ham, wherin their Lordships required the said severall sheriffes
to suffer and permyt my Lord's officers and servaunts to proceede
in his revenues and all other his Lordship's services in their
woanted courses, which gave great hope of more grace comyng,
and may assure you that all shal be safe by her Majesty's
mercy.

"Eare long I trust I shal be hable to wryte more to you, which
I will not faill to do, as occasion shall offer. Meane tyme thus
much more. Your two nephewes, Mr. Francis and Sir George
Manners, arre now bothe set at lyberty, and never were
yndighted. They go abroade yet upon-bonde to appeare on the
first day of the next terme before the Lords, but before that day
I hope of farther grace for them. Meane tyme the one remaynes
at Endefeild with your honourable brother, and Sir George
goeth here at London and thither at his pleasure, for his fault
was the lesse, and therfore his bond not so straight as the other.
Your honorable brother hath much [grieved] at this accident,
and with great care and love to my Lord and his howse, hath
used all his credyte, which hath appeared great, and tried all his
friends. Wherof he hath founde good store, and to speak truely,
no one enemy. Thus I have trobled you with my long sci'ib-
ling, but I beseach your pardon for yt." Seal of anus.

" grew not of any plot " before the defendants chanced to see the
said plaintiff in the Spring garden ; but that, upon what is
confessed by three of the defendants, and considering the_ aggra-
vation of " circumstance of time, place and matter," it is meet
the cause should be proceeded in against all except Mr. Holies,
in whom he can find no fault and who is therefore to be
dismissed. Cojii/.

Concerning the Church.

[About 1620?] — Many laws have been made against the
breach of the second table of the Decalogue, but it would be
well for there to be some stricter laws for enjoining obedience to
the first table and for punishing the contemners thereof.

No Christians dare profess the worship of more gods than one,
yet many worship the true God in a false manner, as in bowing
down to images, worshipping "the Antichristian beast, com-
mitting spirituall fornication with the whore of Babilon," and
obeying his {me) superstitious traditions and decrees more than
the word and commandment of God. For the punishment whereof
it were well that some sharper laws were made and the present
ones put in execution.

The want of worthy and sufficient ministers in parishes is
the cause of increasing ignorance, superstition and atheism,
which want is occasioned partly by the covetousness of patrons
and resignators of benefices, who prefer or bring in such as will
give most, and partly by the ambition and greediness of many
ministers, whose aim is not to feed but to fleece their flocks ;
pretending the plurality of benefices to be allowable for advance-
ment of learning, whereas there are more profitable dignities in
the church than in any other profession, sufticient to give
encouragement to all students therein. Divers persons, by
having their friends to give monej', or by murryins' women who

213

have presentations, &e., are unworthily thrust into church
Kvings, and it would be well to have a law made that the patron
or resignator, as well as the incumbent, might be sworn that he
had taken no consideration for his presentation.

" And further, seeing that it is a sufficient busines for one man
to attend one flock, whose dutye consisteth not (as some imagine)
only in preaching once every Sunday (though many parishes
scarce get one sermon in a yeere), but likewise in visiting the
sick, comforting the distressed, resolving and instructing the
doubtfuU and unlearned by conference, admonishing the dis-
orderly, reconciling those that be at variance, releiving the
poore, winning credit to his person and doctrine by hospitallity
and good example, none of which can be performed by him that
dwelleth out of the parish : therefore it would make a flourishing
church and common wealth if in every severall parish (having a
competent living) there were a worthie man placed, and where
there is not such competency, that there were some course taken
that it were supplied."

And seeing that tithes were the ordinary maintenance of the
ministry in this realm " untill by the erection of religious bowses
they were by the Pope to them appropriated," and so the
parishes were deprived of their proper maintenance for their
minister, it were to be wished that they were restored to their
first institution, and (that it might not be prejudicial to the
purchasers and owners of them, though they have reason to
endure more loss than others that have never meddled with
them), the equallest way might be " that the whole Common-
wealth did buj'e all impropriations to the use of the Church by
means of some generall taxes and subsidies," out of which the
owners might be paid at the rate of eight or ten years' purchase.

Also it is to be wished that a law were made by which the
penalties for swearing . would be as great (if not greater) than
that for drunkenness ; that (seeing how many excuse their
absence from church by fear of arrest), it might be lawful for all
persons (not in prison) to go to the church every Sunday without
danger of arrest ; and that some stricter laws were ordained for
the due observance of the sabbath day.

And seeing that "the imputation of the name of a puritan is
now growne so odious and reproachfull that many men for feare
thereof are rather willing to be thought to favour some vice or
superstition than to undergoe the scandall of that name ; and
seeing many (who both do approve and are verie desirous to obey
his Majestie's lawes and government, as well ecclesiasticall as
teniporall), yet only for absteyning from or not approving grosse
vices or profanenes, or for due frequenting publique exercises of
religion or practising the private duties thereof in their owne
familyes, are branded with that opprobrious name, ... it were
to be wished that it were more certainly and precisely deter-
mined who did worthily deserve that name, to the end that such
as be culpable thereof may be punished, and such as be unjustly
charged therewith may be vindicated from the same by some
punishment to be inflicted upon their calumniators."

Sir Thomas Dallison.

[1621.**] — Sir Thomas Dallison's reasons against a bill ex-
hibited by Thomas Horsman, for confirmation of a rent charge
of lOOZ. per annum, alleged to be granted by Sir Roger Dallison
out of the manor of Laughton, in the county of Lincoln.

The said manor was entailed by Sir Roger, therefore, by his
death, the rent is determined ; and Sir Thomas, his son and heir,
■was not a party to the grant, or to any consideration paid for it.

Also, all Sir Roger's lands are now extended for the King's
debt, being above 9,000Z., and defendant is thereby kept out of
possession, wherefore it is not reasonable that he should pay any
such rent.

Horsman first exhibited his bill in the Starchamber, "suppos-
ing " the bill of entail to be fraudulent and contrived by Sir Roger
and Sir Thomas to deceive him (all which defendant denies upon
oath) ; and now has exhibited his bill in Parliament, " for this
defendant's dubble vexation."

Lastly, there are many other creditors of Sir Roger's estate,
with whom, in reason, Mr. Horsman should take his share, and
Sir Roger's lady has right of dower upon the lands charged.

Wherefore Sir Thomas prays the honourable house that the
bill may be stayed.

Endorsed by Sir George Manners, " Sir Thomas Dallington's
reasons."

Reform of the Law.!

[1621.J — " Matters needful to be reformed in course of law."
Trifling suits to be suppressed by making the costs no greater
than the damages ; no demurrer to be allowed to stay judgment
unless expressly set down, nor any judgment to be stayed after
verdict "for variances in the process after issue joined," and no
advantage to be taken after verdict which might have been
alleged before.

A note to be taken " how many attorneys towardes the law be
in everie countie, and to reduce the same to such competent
number as were sixty yeres since or longer agone. For the
greatest oppression by suits in the kingdome is by the multitude
of attorneyes, which inconvenience was long since found to be in
Norwich, Norfolke and Suffolke, and intended to have beene
redressed by the statute of 83 Hen. 6, cap. 7, but the judges
neglected to put the same in execution, and still allow without
limitation of number. Therefore the law shold be made very
penall upon any that shold practise as an attorney, there being
such full number in any countie as the law shold thinke fitt, and

* Horsman'a bill was read on March 13. 1620-21 , and reported on May 16 followino-
(see Commons- Journals nnder these dates). Sir Roger Dallison died before Nov 1620
(see Cal. S. P. Dom. 1619-23, p. 192).

t Notes probably drawn up by Sir George Manners in the spring of 1021, when the
question of Law Reform was before Parliament. On April 17, Sir George was put
upon a committee to enquire into the subject of bribery, &o., in courts of
justice.

215

such a law to take effect after such time as so many of them as
be now attorneyes shold dye, as there shold but that number
remaine, and that the Judges in the meane time shold admitt no
moe atturneyes."

No attorney to prosecute any action without he first receive
money from his client.

No greater or other fees to be taken in any court at Westminster
or at the assizes than were usual and lawful in 20 Elizabeth ;
and in Ecclesiastical Courts the fees to be those of which a
certificate was made in Archbishop Whitgift's time.

The time of a suit to be limited to one year.

Administrators to be limited as executors are, and the goods
in their hands not to be at the disposal of the ofiicers granting
the administration," which giveth opportunitie of much oppression
and briberie."

And writs of Justices in County Courts to be limited to debts
not exceeding 51., for only the under-sheriff or clerk of the court
sits there, " who, for the most parte, hath no judgment to deter-
mine in greater causes."

It was enacted in 14 Ed. 3 that at every Parliament there
should be chosen a prelate, two Earls, and two Barons, to hear
complaints of suitors in the courts of Westminster, which might
very well be a precedent for a like commission now.

FuETHEE Notes on Law Ebfoem.

[1621.J — Starchamber. Notice of the day of hearing to be
given to all defendants, and a certain day, if needed, appointed
for a further hearing, to prevent the intolerable charges of wait-
ing in London to those who dwell far remote. If the cause fail
a second time to be heard, defendants to be dismissed with costs,
and all defendants not censured to have their costs and charges
paid by the plaintiff.

Chancery. A cause being heard and judged, the decree not
to be reversed; no cause to be entertained after judgment at
common law, and no defendant to be proceeded against after he
be dismissed, without a new subpoena.

In both Starchamber and Chancery, every defendant to have
twenty days' warning before the cause is heard, no cause to be
continued above one year, nor any to be entertained without a
Serjeant's hand to the Bill. No officer to take above fourpence
for the drawing and copying of each sheet of paper, every sheet
to contain twenty lines, and the officers to deliver such copies to
the subject in convenient time.

Assizes. No cause to be brought to trial at any Assizes unless
above the value of forty shillings ; the clerk to take but twelve
pence for the copy of an indictment, which is usually not above
six lines, nor demand any gain for a presentment preferred by
the petty constable, " unles the great Inquest do first find it; "
moderate fees to be set down for the trial of every nisi prius,
and every cause in Common law to be begun and ended in one
year.

216

Lawyers. " Serjeants and counsaillors at lawe looke but
poorely uppon their clients unles they give them greater fees
then many of them are able ; and the great fees which usually
they take is noted to be the cause why soe many lawyers are and
daylie encrease." It is said that in former times the fee of a
Serjeant was but 6s. 8d., and a counsellor's fee less, bat now one
suit " is sufficient to breake the backe of any reasonable man of
wealth," and causeth many a poor subject to be unable to do
his prince service.

Attorneys. "The multiplicitie of atturneys is noted to be a
great cause of stirring uppe of many wrangling sutes of _ small
moment. It is reported for certaine that when Mr. Eichard
Smith was first an atturney in Lincolnshire, whoe is still living,
there was but three atturneys more besides himselfe for all that
shire, and now there are noted to be ten or twelve score."

Innkeepers now buy oats at vjs. viijd. the quarter and sell
them at four nobles ; and buy hay at xs. the load and sell it for
i-ijL, whereas iijs. ivd. gain for each quarter or load " were
sifficient towardes the findinge strawe for the subjectes horse."

Sir John Bcnnet '■' " The Bishoppes officers in everie dioces
are lymitted by statute what to take for probates of wills and
administrations, and the subject is put to little charge, and are
well pleased with the fees. But if any man dye having debts
due unto him by men living out of the dioces ... or in his
life time lent the King money uppon a privie seall, Sir John
Bennet, in that regard and noe other, forceth the subjecte to
prove the will or take administration, which manie times standes
the subjecte to about ten pounds in charges and above, which, if
it were done by the Bishoppes officers, it would cost in all but
five shillings ; and the subject besides thinketh that if the King
did knowe this grievance, that the said Sir John Bennet should
thus punish them for lending the King money, that a greater
jDunishment would be inflicted upon Sir John Bennet. . . .
Very lately a proctor in the cause saith that two, three or foure
hundreth pounds hath been spent about proving of Mr. Eobert
Grantham's will, whoe died in Lincoln now verie lately, which,
if it had be [en] done by the Bishoppes officers at Lincoln, it
would have cost a verie little trifle.

" About the granting th' administration of Dr. Clayton's goodes,
it is said there was a great somme of money paid to Sir John
Bennet. Many poore crieing widdowes and others doe much
complayne of him for their unjust vexations. He sends men of
meane condition and of noe credit or worth with generall com-
missions, giving them power thereby to call whom they list
before him, and if there be no cause yet they must goe uppe and
give oath with great charge and trouble before they can be
discharged. . . . This great burthen hath beene ever since Sir
John Bennet hath beene Judge of that court, and little cause of

* In April, 1621, Sir John Bonnet; was complained against for nial-administration
of his office of Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and he was impeached
on the 3'Jth of May.

217

complaint hath beene before his time. His officers letteth not to
report that the Bishoppes officers of everie dioces are lymitted by
statute what fees to take, but the Archbishoppes officers are not,
he being officer to the Archbishopp.

" Sir John Bennet did adjudge tlie executors of the said Mr.
Robert Grantham's will to pay to one Walker, his officer, foure
score poundes or more, as it is crediblie reported, for his paines
in examining the wittnesses touching that will, which paines
would have beene taken and the busines by another as Avell
done for ten pounds ; and this will a proctor used in that
cause affirm. Sir Thomas Grantham, one of the knights of the
shire for Lincoln, and one of th'executors of the same will, paid
th'one halfe thereof, and Mr. Cracroft, his co-executor, paid
th'other halfe."

Higliimies. " From Piskerton to Horncastle, being a high
rode from Lincoln, being verie cruell ill way, and from the
west end of Langworth Lane to Wragbie towne, being a high
passage and not passable by reason of the deep myrie way, and
from Donholme to Faldingworth, the way leading to Market
Eaisine in like manner. Sempringham and Kingston [in
RippingaleJ lanes and the decayed bridge by West Deeping,
th'ordinarie roade way from Lincolne to London, are verie
fowle and daungerous."

Petition of Anne Batbman, alias Wingfield, to the
House of Commons.

[1621 ?J — Complains that although, upon Lord Eoos's death,
she obtained an order from the Council of the North, dated
July 10, IGl 9, establishing her in her farm of Seaton Rosse,
CO. York, until the title was further tried, yet in the following
September (Lord Scroope being then newly made Lord President
of the North), one Sir Peter Chapman contrived by indirect
means and bribes given to Wetherell, his Lordship's secretary,
and Gabriel, the said Wetherell's man, to have the former order
dissolved, and another made in his favour ; and to give a better
colour to his proceedings, he has by like means procured an injunc-
tion in the Court of Chancery, before the Master of the Rolls, for
possession of the farm. Petitioner, being thus dispossessed,
exhibited a bill in the Court of Star Chamber, but Chapman
obtained an order upon a private petition to the Lord Chancellor,
and thereby dismissed her bill. She then preferred three several
petitions to his Majesty, but "in regard these same concerned
the calling into question persons of greatnes and abuses in
courts," she could get no answer, although she attended about a
year for the same. Offers a particular of her case, and prays for
reformation and restitution.
Annexed,

A move detailed statement of Anne Bateman's case, in wlneh
she mentions that she held her farm hi/ assigmnent from
Richard Ehcicke of two leases, one held from Lord Roos,
and the other from the now Earl of Rutland, who also, on
Lord Roos's death, claimed his rents as next heir.

Lord Dbincourt.

[1626.] — Answer by Lord Deincourt to the petition exhibited
to the House of Lords t in the name of his father. Sir Francis
Leke, knight, now deceased.

1. Whereas it is alleged that he obtained a lease of lands
from his father at a rent of 1,400/., "the same being worth in
truth 4,000/.," he can show by the rentals that the rents at that
time were not 1,300/.

2. He has not refused to pay rent, but when he has several
times tendered it, his father would not take it.

3. He believes that the bill in Chancery against him was
exhibited by Dame Mary, his father's wife, without his father's
privity; for when a bill was "heretofore" drawn up, his father
refused to exhibit it, saying " he would have a care of his
children."

• Bishop Smith's Catalogue of Elizabethan Martyrs, begun in the spring of 1626.
Richard Beck is perhaps John Fisher, alias Percy, who lived at Lady Dormer's and
was " chiefly employed " by the Bishop in London.

t The petition was presented to the House on May 15, 1626 (see Lords' Journals
iii. 609), and Sir Francis died that same year.

222

4. He claimed the privilege of Parliament only that he might
go down to see his father, in order to seek to avoid unnatural
suits ; but he was kept out by force by Dame Mary until his
father was dead, whose death has now determined the Chancery
suit.

5. He is said to have left his father in distress and without
means of livelihood, whereas his father has received from him
30,000L in money, and had at the time of his death 600/. per
annum in land, besides personal estate. That his father's
revenues exceeded his expences is shown by his will, wherein he
demises to his wife and her son a great estate, not so much as
mentioning Lord Deincourt or his ten children.

6. He believes the petition to their Lordships was preferred
without his father's privity, and signed by some other in his
name, as, for two years before, he had not been able to write his
name at large.

You may see by a parcel of Mr. Ben [net] his letter to me how
the matter of approbation goeth, though the Bened [ictines] give
out upon this that my Lord is content that they proceed as they
doe, which others say my Lord cannot doe, because he cannot
dispense in the keeping of the canons, and therupon ariseth
some difference. The truth is, my Lord hath not, for ought I
can learne, condescended to anything that is against liis former
proceeding, but the regulers are apt to report anything that may
uphold their credit. I intend to send you, eyther now or by the
next, a letter from the Nuncio of Parise to my Lord B [ishop]
which maketh for us, and the course my Lord hath taken ; for
therin he supposeth my Lord to be as Ordinarie, which they
deny ; and proposeth severall wayes how his Lordship may give
his consent (or approbation) and withall giveth notice that the

reguler but with this clause, cum consensti Ordinarii. There be
two things that much hinder us, viz. my Lord's absence, and
that some of the prineipall doe not meet and consult about our

Fryday last, Mr. Freeman,* Chief of the Ignaeians, cam to meet

refused to absolve some unless they wold reiterat all for three
yeares passed, and asked if it were don by my appointment. To
which I answered that I never acquainted any laick with that

taking upon him authority he had not, vidz. : over regulers and

he demanded if I wold approve the fact of Mr. Eadcliffe. I
answered that I lef him to answer for himself. He insisted,
demanding if that was all. I told him, if he wold accuse Mr.
Eadclyffe, I wold heare the cause. He saide he wold not. I told
him I wold write to Mr. Eadclyffe, and there we ended. Mr.
Carre thincking I dealt not sufficiently, began to justify Mr.
Eadclyffe. He^sayd he cam not to dispute, so sayd I, yeat they
fell to it roundly, which pleased not me, for my purposse was to
gett what I could of him, without giving him anything.

"He sayd in Mr. Carre's hearing, being urged by me (by way
of questioning, Mr. Carre's disputing inforcing me thereto), that
our Bishop was not Ordinary of England, and that the Pope
could not make him Ordinary. I sayd, if he should say
constituo te ordinarium Anc/lue, wold not that make him Ordinary '?
He sayd it wold not. Can he not give him potestatem ordinariam
over England? He sayd yeas, but that will not make him
Ordinary. And there I left, assuring myself that he was made
Ordinary and so stiled by the Nuncioes letters. After Mr. Carre's
departure, I asked him if in other countryes they had not
approbation. He answered yeas, because they had jurisdiction
from the Ordinary. I replyed that they had jurisdiction from
theyre Generall immediatly, from the Pope mediatly, and so
jurisdiction went before approbation. He said approbation went
before, but I beate him from that. He urged Mr. Carre that
seculers must have approbation, so farre as that he confessed he
was approved by Wm. Chalc[edon]. He sayd further that they
were approved, in that they had not bin questioned about it, for
tacita ajyprobatio sufficit.

" I shelved him Pius V. bull, where it was sine approhatioiie
obtinenda, and urged obtinenda so farre as he could not tell what
to say. Then I asked whether the Missionaryes of Indies were
examined in Italy, and after approved in the Indias. He granted
examination in Italy, but denyed they were approved by Ordinary
in India, which every man may see to be false. But they
generally nowe deny him to be Ordinary.

"I told my Lord that some of theme sayde he is but a missione
Bishop ; others, our principall's authority is greater then his ;
an other, we will preach and heare confessions in his diocesse in
despight of his teeth. He replyed tome very roundly :' Lett me
heare none of this. If you can gett it under hands of sufficient
witnesses, do ; otherwise hold your peace, or to this effect.
Methincks that seeing theyre base relation doth us much harme,
ours might shewe at least probably theyre spirit ; but I have
tyred you. I send you three bottles by this bearer with many
thancks. Complaynts com dayly to my hands of greate abuses ;
I have no authority to helpe ; you ar farre of. I told my Lord
and willed him to looke to it ... . My service to yourself and
your honourable friend, to Mrs. Mary Gest, &c."

Postscript. — " I told my friend of a match for Mrs. Baker which
I thought not unfitt, in regard of the towardnes of the gentle-

not go forward . . . Mrs. Baker liketh it not."

Petition of John Eyre, gent, to the County Committee
at Lincohi.

1644, Nov. 25.— Six years since, by a decree in Chancery, a
sequestration was directed to Edward Tripp and others for
gathering the profits of the parsonage of Barton, in this county,
for the use of petitioner. In times of peace he enjoyed the
same, and in the harvest of 1642 above twenty bayes«* of white
corn were gathered in. But the year following, one John Dalton,
a delinquent and ever very active against the Parhament, taking
advantage of petitioner's' absence, by reason the King's forces
were then masters of Lincolnshire, gathered the profits of the
harvest. Afterwards, Mr. Emmerson seized Dalton's corn and
referred the matter to John Archer, esquire, of this committee,
but has refused to give up to petitioner what Mr. Archer allowed
to him, and now Dalton has carried away the corn, pretending
that he has the Earl of Manchester's protection. He lives very
privately in Barrow, has not been above once at church in
twelve weeks, and is a suspected papist and a man of
desperate condition.

Prays that the said Dalton may be sent for to answer his con-
tempt of the Chancery decree, and that Mr. Tripp and Mr. John
Frier may have the custody of the corn until the Committee shall
give further order.

years, Mr. Gervase Lucas (late servant of the Earl), now called
Sir Gervase Lucas, entered the castle, then in peaceable
possession of the said Earl, imprisoned deponent and others of
the Earl's servants, and took the keys, which, however, a few
hours later he gave back to deponent. During the next two
years the said Sir Gervase and his now wife desired deponent to
deliver to them divers parcels of linen and household stuff, " as
namely, one black velvett sadle cloth with the furniture to it,
one silke carpitt of nedleworke of divers coulers, the courtaines,

sheets, six paire of pillow beares [cases], seaventeene table clothes,
two dussen and halfe of diaper napkins, with eighteen dozen of
ordinary napkins, and seaventeene peeces of new coarse lynen,"
together with many other parcels which deponent cannot now
well remember. All which, he, being then under command of
the said Sir Gervase, durst not refuse, and none of which have
ever been received back. Also, by like direction of Sir Gervase
and his now wife, deponent delivered the keys of the wardrobe to
one Odiam and one William Onnion [Unwin] , who went in and
out at their pleasure.

At the end of the two years aforesaid, deponent was taken
to Grantham by a party of the Parliament's horse, where he
remained nine weeks, and, on his return, he found many of the
rooms ransacked, the trunks broken open, and much linen and
household stuff taken away. Signed- Also rough draft of the

Deposition of Kichard Grant, Minister of the Word of God,
at Eedmill, in the county of Leicester.

[1646, September?] — Testifies that in or about September,

Gervase Lucas) desired him to write directions on three or four
great bundles which he believed to be linen, for that the said lady
said, " Now I shall have a pair of sheets to lie in when I come to
London," which bundles were to be conveyed to Mrs. Greene, the
said lady's sister, near Bednalls Green, and were sent by one
Sewell to the Melton Mowbray carrier for the purpose.

Has divers times heard the said Lady Lucas say she had no
linen or household stuff of her own, as it was all burnt or lost at
Newark ; and has heard it reported that she picked out the marks
of the linen belonging to the Earl and Countess of Eutland and
put her own or other marks instead.

She oftentimes asked him to carry parcels of linen and other
things to Oxford, but he refused.

Also one Thomas Smith, who sold the bark of great quantity of
timber at Belvoir, told informant that he paid the moneys which
he received for it to the said lady. Signed. Also rough draft of

1692, August 17. Bakewell.— " The Tuesday after I left Belvoyr
(being the second instant) went to Trentham. Wednesday and
Thursday were spent in examining rentalls, leases, veiwing the
mannor and estate there, which is very large and intyre. The
tennants of the mannor are all at will, save of one estate called
the Hill or Clayton Griffith in lease to one Moreton, a lace man
in Coven Garden, for about 12 years to come at 16/. per annum,
of which hee makes above 200/. (beyond all charges) to under-
tennants. The mannor-house stands low, is a tollerable
good house, out of repaires in the roofe by extraordinary
heavy slate, large gardens, the walkes not perfected. The
tennants have large and good pennyworths, yet are but of
indifferent abilityes, occacioned, as I collect, by the hospitality
at Trentham house, where, I am tould, they used to spend their
tyme and neglect their businesse, which was the reason they are
runn the greatest part of the 4000/. areare of rent (in the
perticuler sent your Lordship) , some good part whereof will bee
lost ; for which reasons I waved fixing here for any part of the
joynture. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Munday and Tuesday were
spent in looking into the mannors of Lilleshaw (sic) and the other
manners and estates in Shropshire, Wolverhampton, and the rest
of the estate in Staffordshire, the better to informe my selfe how

229

to fix the joynture safe, the abstract whereof is inclosed, the hke
being sent to my late Lord Cheefe Baron with a perticuler of the
names of the tennants to the demesne lands and the yearly
rents thereof. The tenements in demesne come to 5511. 6s. Id.,
are very good pennyworths. All taxes paid by the tennants
save about eight of the smallest parcells. 'Tis all in lands,
noe mills, tythes or coalemynes. The remaynder of the 2000L
joynture chargeable with assessments issues out of the manners
and estates in lease, many tymes beyond the value, soe as this is
one of the best 20001. joyntures, I think, in England, and is the
most convenient for the estate, all things considered. The rents
of the Staffordshire and Shropshire estates do reach the perticuler
sent to your Lordship, a copy whereof I tooke at Belvoyre. The
rentall of Stitnam, the steward said, was sent to London ; soe
hee could not shew me that. The demesnes at Trentham
valued at 5911. 4.s. 4fL are large enough to answer that rent, if
there were farme-houses and industrious tennants upon them.
And for the demesnes in Lylleshall at 5B01. and Sheriffe Hales
at 294L yearly, they will beare it, or within a small matter.

" All I coulde doe since I came home on Thursday has beene the
modelling the joj'nture, sending my Lord Cheefe Baron that with
the names of the tennants and rents, and drawing a scheme of
the estate for your Lordship, which shall come by the next
opportunity, wherein your Lordship will fully understand the
estate, and observe it to bee as great as it hath been reputed in
revercion, and 2701. yearly good rent in tythes and other thinges
not comprehended in the perticuler sent. I am pretty well
assured the Shropshire and Staffordshire lands in lease, all but
Trentham, are not at 5s. the pound, men of understanding
affirme not at halfe soe much." Seal.

as coming from the King of Denmark, but as a project of what
in his opinion might furnish matter for an accommodation.

230

As it does not come from the Court of Denmark, you may
conclude it is no proposition of the Duke of Zell or of the
Elector of Brunswick, wherefore neither party should be
displeased by His Majesty owning the paper.

It is His Majesty's pleasure that neither you nor Monsieur
Hop publish it or let it appear to come from either of you, but
that it serve as a rule to govern yourselves by, as those expedients
would be agreeable to his Majesty, if the parties could be brought
to consent to them ; in order whereunto His Majesty would be
well pleased if some other hand than yours or Monsieur Hop's
might be seen by those concerned in the present negotiation.

William Blathwayt to [Loed Lexington].

1693, September 9. Camp at St. Quintin, Linnick. — The
King is surprised that the first proposition mentioned in yours
of the 22nd should be renewed, and the Danes encouraged to
graft on it so many more unreasonable demands. He looks
upon it as injurious to the House of Luneburg and too great a
discouragement to them as our allies to be insisted on or
countenanced by you and Monsieur Hop, instead of which the
King thinks lit that the paper I sent you by the two last posts
be produced and owned by you and Monsieur Hop, and that the
King of Denmark and House of Luneburg be persuaded to accept
of the expedients proposed in it, and that you may not scruple
to let them both understand that, if these good offices cannot
prevail to keep the peace between them, the King is obliged to
take part with his allies, and to send the squadron to the Sound.

William Eyre to the Marquess of Granby and others.

1763, July 22. New York. — When last I closed the accounts
of this department I sent a stated account of the expenditure
made on the fortification, including the year 1760. I now send
another down to the latter end of 1762, and I have by order of
Sir Jeffery Amherst examined all the vouchers and given receipts
for them.

My last letter was of the 12th April, at which time I sent to
England by Captain Maxwell the survey of Lake Champlain and
of the country round Pittsburgh, which I hope got safe, as well as
all former surveys and draughts of the forts.

I should be extremely pleased if you would send for me in
order that I might pass these accounts, which would relieve my
mind from anxiety. Copy. On the same sheet is a draft per-
mission to Eyre to return home if Sir Jeffery Amherst approves.

John Boddington to the Marquess of Granby.

1764, July 31. Office of Ordnance. — Informing him that the
Board do not consider that any repairs or new construction at
Fort Mobile can be performed by that office.

Captain Haeey Gordon to [Thomas] Thokoton.

1764, December 13. New York.—" With this you will receive
a copy of the General Report of the Forts, as far as I have been
able since my arrival from my own view to make a just one,_ or
to get intelligence from the engineers that have had the direction
this summer of the different districts. I beg you will lay the
same before the Master-General, and also acquaint his Lordship I
will use every endeavour that he may perfectly know this country,
the situation of the posts, and the properest communications.

"In order that I may get entire knowledge of the greatest part
of this Continent, I intend to propose myself to the Commander-
in-chief, to be sent down the Ohio to the Mississippi, up that
stream about seventy miles to the Illinois Settlement, from thence
cross over to Detroit, and come down by Lake Erie, Niagara, Lake
Ontario into Canada, and view the works at Quebec. In this
route, if General Gage agrees to my making it, I hope to acquire
useful knowledge, which I shall have the honour of communicat-
ing to you. I sincerely wish I may be able, by any pains I am
at, to find out the public good. If I should, I will have the
greatest pleasure eagerly to pursue it; neither jealousy of another's
invention or ]Derformance, nor partiality to my own, can ever
make me depart from my duty to it.

" Since I had the honour of writing you by Colonel Eyre the
campaign against the Indians is at an end ; peace is made with
those people without blood. The body of troops that went under
the command of Colonel Bouquet from Fort Pitt against the
Delawares and Shawnese, by being able to march in so formid-
able a manner as far as some of their towns, has struck these
tribes with a good deal of terror ; yet, although they have agreed
to such terms as was given them, they will soon forget they were
obliged to this, therefore must be narrowly watched, though
attended with expence, till their fighting humour does subside.
Their pacification at present favours our taking possession of the
Illinois country, which, instead of struggling for four or five
hundred leagues against the stream of the Mississippi, may now
be done with ease and pleasure down that of the Ohio in one-
fourth part of the time.

" Till this is accomplished we can have no security with the
Indians on this Continent, nor can the whole country be made
useful to the community. The Illinois in our possession and
peace thoroughly established, an immense consideration will be
necessary to turn the improvement, trade and people of this wide
empire to the public good of the mother country.

" The description of the posts will point out to his Lordship the
difficulties attending the garrisoning of and keeping them in
repair ; our getting a vessel into Lake Huron, I hope, will never
engage us to erect posts or send a military force to such an
uncommunicable distance. Detroit is full far enough.

" I intend to put our posts upon a general map, which I shall
transmit to you, that thereby his Lordship may see the whole at
a view."

Lord Adam Gordon to Captain Goery.

1765, June 1. New York. — There is much matter in your
letters that gives me uneasiness, but as it is not in my power to
remedy, I will not take it to heart. Your illness vexes me more
than anything else. If you should die, I will lose all hope of
arriving at peace, order and good discipline.

This is a good place and sensible people in it, yet touched with
the times, as all North Americans are. Cojyy.

Lieutenant John Thomas to General Williamson.

1765, June 16. Point Iberville. — " According to your desire,
I take this opportunity (by Mr. Frazier) to give you a description
of West Florida. It can be no advantage to me to add or
diminish anything from a country to what it really is. I shall
describe this province so far as I know of it, without being
partial or prejudiced in the least. Pensacola, when possessed by
the Spaniards, was for exiles, according to the laws of that peoj)le.
When the Eoyal Americans came to relieve the garrison, they
were asked what crime they had committed, to be sent to so
wretched a place. Pensacola is at present a square staccaded
fort, containing a few miserable huts for the officers and soldiers.
Its situation is on the north of a spacious bay, surrounded by a
sandy desert, which is heated in the summer time to that degree
as to make it almost unsufferable. The sand is white as snow,
not having the least mixture of earth, for the space of one
hundred miles back into the country, which produces nothing
but pitchpines, shrubs and some oak trees, so that a worse
situation cannot be, having but little to subsist upon but salt
provision for our money, not the least appearance of vegetables ;
neither is it possible for the art of man to produce any. The
few cattle that now and then comes here is from New Orleans
or the country adjacent, but the fatigue of a long march over the
barren sands makes the poor animals more bones than fiesh by
the time they arrive to this place. A goat sells for 3/. 12s.
sterling, a turkey lis., sometimes 12s., a fowl 4s. Qd., beef M.
per pound, and what we call pork IQd. Notwithstanding the
extravagant price, every thing is snapped at by a parcel of
peddling fellows, who call themselves merchants because they
sell a few buttons and knives for their amusement (by credit
from home) in expectation of a Spanish free trade. It's true I
am not acquainted with new colonies, but I really believe that
such a rabble of dirty fellows was never got together. They
appear to me as if they had been gibbeted for some time
in a very hot climate, but, thank God, I have left them
them, and should be truly sorry to see them or the capital of huts
any more. Coming to this place it was my duty to call at
Mobile. The town and fort is at the extremity of a large bay
running upwards of thirty miles into the country. In the front
of the town there is a swampy island formed by a river emptying
itself into the bay. In the rear is another with a thick wood
close to the place. The water likewise is very bad. So that it is [as]

234

unhealthy a spot as any part of the globe ; as to the soil I am
not well acquainted with [it] , being but two days on shore. What I
saw was sandy and very bad. I had the command of a sloop
with one bombardier, one mattross, two nine-pounders, two heavy
sixes, one light six-pounder, five-and-a-half-inch howitzer, and
according to orders received an officer's command from the 34th
regiment for this post. We halted at New Orleans with His
Majesty's Ship Nautilus. During our stay, the French were at
great pains in knocking us down with their affected complaisances,
and I believe much more in persuading the Indians (on the
banks of this river) to knock out our brains with their fuzees.
We hear that the peddling scoundrels of Florida have supplied
the French with a considerable quantity of gunpowder ; however
the savages received from them plenty of arms and ammunition,
from one end of this river to the other. This is about eighty
leagues from the mouth of the river, which is a crooked or serpen-
tine one, with a stream which runs near four knots an hour when
there is a fair wind, for one hour the same very often proves
foul the next.

" The fort intended to be erected at this place was begun some
weeks past, but God knows when it will be finished, as the French
Negroes employed in the works have deserted them, and the
Nautilus, having been under a necessity of falling down the river,
being in want of provisions, so that we at present are at savages'
mercy, not a gun is inclosed, and such a guard that I am sure
that the barrack (which consists [of] near fifty men) might be sur-
prised, as most of them are employed in clearing a little narrow
dirty ditch called the river Iberville, which helps to form the
island of New Orleans. Our provisions are almost expended,
the only expectation of relief is from Major Farmer, who com-
mands the 34th regiment at Orleans on its expedition to the
Illinois.

" The lands here are very good, but covered with massy trees,
and subject to inundations."

Captain Abram Tovby to Colonel Dbsaguliees,
Great (^ueen Street, Westminster.

1765, September 14. Perth. — Being informed that the
engineers who were at the siege of Belleisle have received their
bat and baggage money at the rate of 100/. each, and the
subalterns in proportion, and the artillery officers at Guadaloupe
and the Havanah received the like sum, we therefore, who
served under you at the taking of Belleisle, hope that you will
solicit the Marquess of Granby and the Board to put us on the
same footing as the engineers who were with us in that service.

Governor Kobbrt Melville to the Marquess of Granby.

1765, October^. St. George's in Grenada. — Asking that the
artillery on the island may be strengthened and increased, and
stating that, though he does not view his neighbours in too

235

formidable a light, yet it is his duty to watch them closely.
Moreover they not only have greater garrisons but are more
intent on putting their militia in order and on other preparations
than they ever were before in time of peace. Signed.

Edward Edwards to Major James.

1765, December 22. New York. — I send you the newspapers
"with an advertisement that was publicly stuck up in all the
public places of the city, and which I tore off the other evening,
but narrowly escaped from the Sons of Liberty, from having a
good drubbing or beating, as some of them saw me do it.

"We have been pretty peaceably and quiet of late, till last
Tuesday at night, when the Sons of Liberty began their wanton
rebellion and carried through the public streets the effigies of
Lord Bute, Mr. Grenville and Governor Murray, from thence to
the fields, where they were burnt ; after that procession, they
returned to the City Hall, where the stamps lay, and would (if the
mayor, corporation and the rest of the gentlemen had not assem-
bled and with much to do dispersed them) [have] took them ofl:
and burnt them ; and last night they vowed they would have them,
but the Gran [adiers] of the city with others of the militia kept
constant watch over them at night ; they likewise swear they
will have them to-night, so God only knows what will be [the]
end of it. It seems they are determined to send them home by
the Duke packet ; she sails to-morrow, so that I suppose we shall
have rare work to-night. They are likewise dissatisfied with
their new Governor, as he will not let any vessels to go out with-
out proper passports, and likewise because he hath refused their
freedom; as it was not upon stamp-paper, however, they do
all they can to please him."

Major Thomas Jambs to the Marquess of Gkanby.

[1765.] — Stating that in consequence of his having planted
some light artillery on the barbet of Fort George at New York
with the approbation of General Gage and the consent of
Governor Golden in order to protect the stamp-papers from being
burned by the inhabitants, a body of five or six thousand men had
on the 1st November attacked his house and destroyed all his
property ; that he had been desired by his officers and friends to
obtain leave to embark for England lest he should be murdered,
that his losses and passage-money have involved him in debt, and
asking for relief and compensation. Copy.

Lieutenant Colonel Hans Musgrave, 66th Kegiment,
to the Marquess of Granby.

1766, May 31. Kingston, Jamaica. — Gives an account of the
ill-treatment he has received from Governor Lyttelton and the
hostility which has been lately shown to him by Lord Adam
Gordon.

General Geoege Williamson to the Marquess of Graney.

1766, July 19. Landguard Fort.— Sending a copy of a letter
from his son, who was unwilling to alter the resolution he had
made when he left England of remaining in the regiment, and
begged to be allowed to remain as he was, the lield of the "genie "-'
being so much confined, and there being no appearance of a
change, while as a soldier of fortune he wished to make himself
useful in every branch.

Eton College.
1766, [July] .—A Kst of Eton College. Number of boys, 498.

Captain Hugh Debbieg to Thomas Thoroton.

1766, August 24. St. John's, Newfoundland. — Informing him
that he had arrived there on the 20th and found Commodore
Palliser in the harbour ; that the Commodore has ordered the
sloop Zephyr to carry him to Trepassey and attend him wherever
else he may find it necessary to go ; that Lieutenant Beardsley is
at Chateaux Bay on the coast of Labrador erecting a block-house,
and that Ensign Mouat is ordered to Placentia, as the barracks
and storehouses there are in great want of repairs.

Major Egbert Milward, 59th Eegiment, to Captain
William Spry.

1768, September 17. Halifax. — Directing him to make a report
upon the state and condition of the defences and fortifications of
Halifax. Cojry.

Captain W. Spry to the Marquess of Granby.

1769, January 14. Halifax. — Sending a report of the forts in
the western part of that province.

William Fawcitt to [the Marquess of Granby].

[1770, October.] — " Finding on my arrival in town that Mr.
Calcraft was at Ingress, I have made an appointment with Mr.
Barwell to go down with him there to-morrow morning, in order
to settle together the form of the petition which is intended to be
presented to Parliament by the burgesses in your Lordship's
interests at Scarborough. Mr. Barwell says there is time enough
for the drawing it up, as well as for getting it signed, and
properly executed afterwards. Whatever he and Mr. Calcraft
agree upon shall be communicated to your Lordship by Saturday
night's post. I have not yet been able to see either Mr. Stanley
or Mr. Lucas upon the business your Lordship ordered me to
speak to them about, though I have called several times at their
houses, but I shall catch them without fail to-morrow morning,

* i.e. military engineering, from the French.

287

and will send your Lordship their answers. I have been ram-
bling everywhere about to picii up some intelligence for your
Lordship; and as nothing is talked of but the expected rupture
with Spain, I find it is the general opinion that a war with that
Power is inevitable, tho' it's imagin'd the Ministry are doing
everything they can to get out of the scrape. General Harvey,
whom I have just now seen, appears to be of the same way of
thinking with regard to the probability of a war ; but bids me
assure your Lordship with his best compliments that, as soon as he
knows anything for certain upon this subject, he will not fail to
write to you. I understand Lord Howe has offer'd his service to
the King, in consequence of which it's thought he will be one of the
first to be employ'd, in case the war should go on ; in the mean-
while a promotion of Admirals is to be forthwith made, which will
take him in. Lord Barrington is out of town ; and I don't hear
that anything further has yet been thought of concerning the
army, than to order all officers whatever to join their respective
corps without delay; especially those stationed at Gibraltar.
General Conway, it seems, has his hands full of work, for he is
every day either at Woolwich or the Tower ; and they begin to
talk of raising a new battalion of artillery, the scheme for which
has, I'm told, been already laid before the King. I beg my best
compliments to Dr. Muskett, Chamberlaine, and all friends. I
intended writing to Chamberlaine by this post, but not having
time, must beg he'll excuse me till my return from Ingress."

Elizabeth (so called) Duchess of Kingston to Captain Haedbn,
Commander of her ship, the Minerva.

1774, June 30. Lille. — If Lord Granby cannot be provided with
a packet to carry him to Dover, I desire you will obey his com-
mands, and return as soon as possible to me at Calais. Notwith-
standing the great haste I am in, I had rather be inconvenienced
than have Lord Granby disappointed of the means of going to
England. Signed. Signature struck through with a pen.

De. E. Barnaed to [the Maequess of Geanby].

1774, October 23. Eton College. — Congratulating him on his
election to a seat in Parliament.

D. Pdlteney to the Maequess of Geanby, at Knightsbridge.

[1775, April 7?] Friday. Cambridge. — "I did not order
Almon's collection of debates at the coffee houses here because I
found the Cambridge paper in everybody's hands, and your speech
inserted with what comments you will excuse me from repeating.
I can only say I am ashamed to transcribe the subjoined from
the scroll of a pencil at Newmarket to such an adept in debate,
and if I have taken very little pains about it, pray believe me in
earnest when I assure you by God I believe you will succeed
better from yourself." On the same sheet is the outline of an
arguiiinitfor the repeal of the Quehec Act.

238

The Countess op Chatham to the Marquess of Geanby.

1775, September 3. Hayes.— Regretting that Lord Chatham
is not well enough to see him.

John, Eael of Chatham to [the Maequess of Granby].

1778, May 15. Hayes.— Thanking him for his condolences on
the death of his father. Trusts that he inherits his father's
opinions, principles, and love of his country ; and that the son
and the chief friend of him whom they all lament may be united
by every tie, public and private.

William Pitt to [the Marquess of Geanby] .

1778, May 15. Hayes. — " The sentiments contained in your
Lordship's letter to my mother are indeed so affecting and over-
coming that it is impossible for her to answer them with her own
hand. At the same time it is as impossible for her to accept your
obliging permission of leaving them totally unanswered. She is
anxious that your Lordship should know how much she feel^
herself obliged to you for your goodness on this distressful
occasion, and desires me to assure you that nothing affords so
healing a medicine to her affliction as the conduct of those whom
my poor father in his life the most respected and loved. In that
number I need not say that you, my dear Lord, had a distinguished
place. Your Lordship's wish of taking a part in the House of
Commons must be felt as the greatest honour by every part of
Lord Chatham's family, and is certainly not the less felt, though
circumstances put it out of your power to attend. My mother's
mind is raised, as it naturally must, by reflecting that he whom
we have lost expired, as it were, in the arms of his country ;
and by contemplating the honours with which that country
has consecrated his memory.

" I must trouble your Lordship to convey to Lady Granby my
mother's sincerest acknowledgements and warmest thanks for her
very obliging attention, and to express how truly she laments
that she cannot herself assure Lady Granby how deep a sense
she has of her goodness. I embrace eagerly this opportunity of
saying how much the repeated proofs of attachment, with which
you have honoured a character so sacred in my bosom, must
endear to me every mark of your Lordship's friendship."

The Earl of Chatham to the Marquess of Geanby.

1778, July 15. Gibraltar. — Informing him of his safe arrival
and begging him to indulge him with a letter.

Eobbet Thoeoton to LoED Robbet Manners, in Arlington Street.

[1779, Sept. 2. Plymouth.]—" The Southampton, Captain
Gurney, arrived here yesterday. He spoke with Sir Charles Hardy
twenty-five leagues westward off Scilly and described to him the
numbers and situation of the combined fleet. Sir Charles is very

239

much distressed for water and is reduced to his last tier of water
casks. The united fieetis at the Land's End stretching southward
from thence. They have a fleet of thirty victuallers and four
frigates off the Lizard. Their fleet consists of fifty-eight line of
battle ships with many frigates. The Kite cutter sailLed]
unintentionally through their fleet, and fifteen sail of Irish
merchantmen made the same blunder, and had the same
miraculous escape. The conduct of Ministry in regard to this
plaoe is such as if they intended to deliver it into the hands of
the enemy. Sir David Lindsay has wrote to resign, as every
proposition he has made to strengthen the town has been
unattended to, and every requisition he has made has been
refused. The town in its present state is not quite defenceless,
but in such a situation as to sacrifice many of the lives of those
who attempt its defence. Sir William Draper will have the
command for a short time, and then it is to be vested in one
General Havilland. You cannot think how exasperated every
one is with the Ministry. I keep this letter open in ease of any
further account, which, depend upon it, shall be faithfully
transmitted."

Postsciipt. — " isfow whosoever you are who have open [ed] this
letter, if you have for once spirit enough to speak the truth, do
convey this intelligence to the first Lord of the Admiralty, that
the people at Plymouth are so incensed and enraged with him
that, if he dared show his head in the town, he would be torn
limb from limb by the justly irritated inhabitants."

William Pitt to the Duke of Eutland.

1779, Oct. 18. Pembroke Hall [Cambridge].—" I ought not to
have delayed so long acknowledging the last obliging letter which
I received from your Grace on my mother's account as well as my
own. She had commissioned me to present her best compliments
to your Grace and the Duchess, with many thanks for the honour
of your obliging inquiries. I should also have repeated to you
my own thanks for the fresh accessions of hope which I continu-
ally owe to. your kind exertions in my favor. I am happy to be
able to inform you that my success in other quarters in some
measure corresponds with that for which I am indebted to your
Grace's friendship. I have been returned to Cambridge two or
three days, and only had time to sum up what I have already
gained, without making any further advances. I find that from
the answers I have myself received, and those which your Grace
has transmitted to me, I have at least 60 positive promises, about
40, which are, in various degrees, rather favourable, between 20 and
30 which indicate nothing of the disposition of the writers, and
only eleven from persons who are engaged. This account includes
onlj' those who have given express assurances, and consequently
omits very many of whose support I have great reason to be
confident. I shall have an opportunity of making personal
applications now to many persons who were absent when I
began my canvass ; and from the University being so much fuller

240

shall also, I hope, be able to discover channels of application
which may be of assistance. On the whole I and all my friends
are persuaded that the state of my cause is very promising. It
is rather unfortunate for me that Mr. Atwood has resigned his
fellowship, as it must of course diminish his influence, but he
will still, I am sure, exert himself as much as he can, and maybe
of considerable use to my cause. The meeting of Parliament will,
I imagine, at length put an end to your confinement at Plymouth,
which must, I fear, have been rather tedious. I shall hope to have
the pleasure of meeting you at that time in town. My brother
will probably have performed a month's march into your part
of the world, soon enough to return again with somewhat more
expedition on the same account."

LoED Mansfield to [the Duke of Eutland].

1779, Oct. 2i!. Kenwood. — " You may probably have heard of
Lady Mansfield's dangerous illness : and I know the goodness of
your heart so well, that I am sure you feel much for us all ;
therefore I take the first moment in my power to tell you the

doctor thinks her decidedly in a fair way of recovery

I beg my most respectful compliments to the Duchess."

Alleyne Fitzhbebeet to [the Duke of Poutland].

1780, January 14. Brussels. — I have met with a picture by
Gerard Dow, which will be no disgrace to your collection. It is
the famous picture which was in Verhulst's "••' possession. At his
sale it was going for a sum inferior to what he paid for it, so his
executors bought it in on their own account.

I am under no apprehension of your thinking the money ill
laid out, as, next to the famous picture of this master which was
lost on its way to Eussia, ours is reckoned to be the finest that has
been upon sale for many years. It is very small, being only five
inches high and six in breadth. I hope you like the Eubens.

Lord Mansfield to the Duke of Eutland.

1780, March 12. — "As I have not the honour of knowing the
gentleman you mention, I suppose it is upon subjects of a public
nature he wishes to speak to me. As I am in no office and con-
sequently mix in no council of state, I decline discussion which I
cannot make the proper use of. You cannot say that I decline
seeing a gentleman, but you may hint that you know I do not
interfere in public business, and you may say I am at home most
mornings about 9 and most evenings."

Alleyne Fitzheebeet to [the Duke of Eutland].

1780, April 10. Brussels. — " You will receive at the same time
with this letter a small mahogany box containing your Gerard

* Probably the portrait painter William Verelst is intended.

241

Dow, which I have at last met with an opportunity of forwarding
to you by a person I can trust. I Kkewise enclose to you herewith
the key of the said box. I don't know whether I am quite at my
ease upon the subject of the reception this picture will meet with
at your hands, and the worst of it is that, whether it be good
or bad, I am sure never to be the wiser, as your language to me
will in either case be exactly the same : my only comfort is in
the opinions of the connoisseurs here, who all continue to assure
me that it is a monstrous pennyworth. I have no news to send
you from hence, there being none arrived lately in France either
from the West Indies or the Continent of America. We are all
much taken up here, as by the time this reaches England you
probably will be in London, by the late declaration of the
Empress of Russia, which, though it wears the cloak of neutrality,
is evidently and solely levelled against us. It arrived at The Hague
very opportunely to deliver the States-General from the embar-
rassment into which Sir J. Yorke's late memorial had thrown
them, as I take it for granted that, finding themselves backed by
so powerful a court, they will now boldly throw off the mask and
declare that they renounce their treaty with us, but at the same
time insist upon the performance of ours with them. Whatever
may come of it, it is our own fault for having suffered them to
trifle with us so long at a time when the smallest act of vigour
on our parts would have laid them at our feet. It is true that we
have a number of enemies upon our hands, and in that case as
Hudibras says : —

— 'tis no mean part of civil
State-prudence to cajole the Devil ;
but then the Devil has claws and horns and according to some
authors a pitchfork to defend himself with, whereas I can venture
to say that all the force the Dutch could at that time have thrown
into the enemies' scale would not have increased the weight of
it by one scruple, and in the meantime we should at one stroke
have ruined their trade and that of our enemies into the bargain.
Adieu, my dear Lord. I am mighty anxious for to-morrow's post,
in order to learn the event of Thursday's debate upon the
petitions. You know me well enough to be persuaded that I am a
friend to them in general, and I can assure you that your
Cambridgeshire one was one of those that pleased me the best ;
but I cannot help adding that I was very sorry to see the active
and leading part which Mr. Wilkes was suffered to take in it."

The Marquess of Rockingham to the Duke of Rutland.

1780, April 24. Grosvenor Square.—" I have delayed writing
to your Grace till I fear it will be very difficult for your Grace to
come to London to attend the enclosed motion in the House of
Lords. What indeed now occasions me to send you the express is
that I really find that very many of our friends do wish that your
Grace should be present at the business which is to be moved, so
that I feel I ought to try to persuade you to come. What indeed
is of much additional weight in my own mind is that in

6802 Q

242

opinion I very sincerely concur with them in thinkingthat your
Grace's own personal credit and honour make it almost incumbent
upon you to be present in the House on weighty matters and in
such times as these. If I was to indulge my own vanity, I might
perhaps think that my having the honour of being entrusted with
your Grace's proxy might be sufficient, at least for me. At all
events you will not be offended at my solicitation. I hear from
Lord George Henry Cavendish this morning that your Grace is to
be at Cambridge to-day, and possibly to stay there to-night. I
therefore send this messenger by way of Cambridge. If you get
up early you may be in good time for the House of Lords to-
morrow, and you may be back even by dinner time on Wednesday
in Cambridgeshire, if you are alert for two mornings."

Thomas Thoeoton to [the Duke of Eutland].

1780, April 25. Arlington Street. — "I am this moment return'd
from the House of Commons and the House of Lords. In the
former the Commissionof Accounts Bill was to have come on, but
was postponed; and after much talk and abusing Ministry on the
disposition made for stationing the several regiments of militia, the
Salt Tax passed. The Malt comes on to-morrow, some material
question of Thursday and Burke's Bill on Friday. In the House
of Lords (where your Grace was expected) the Duke of Eichmond
made his motion relative to the state of Plymouth last summer.
In the course of the debate words had dropped from Lord Stormont
expressing that there was too great an intercourse between this
country and France than ought to be, and which he could not
prevent. These words were taken up by Lord Shelburne, who asked
for a plain explicit answer to this question, whether Lord Stormont
either as Embassador or Secretary of State had ever come to the
knowledge of any improper intercourse between any lord in that
House and the enemies of this country. Lord Stormont said
that the words which he before made use of referred only to
vessels sailing from Margate and other places without passports
or any controul whatever from the Secretaries of State, and he
meant not to allude to any lord or any other personally. Lord
Shelburne said that did not fully answer his question, which was
whether any imjiroper intercourse had ever come to his know-
ledge, or had with any degree of probability been ever hinted to
him. This question Lord Stormont would not answer, and
a long debate ensued. A question was formed in order to force
an answer. However Lord Stormont would not answer, and at
the desire of the Duke of Eichmond the question was dropped, and
then they went on with the debate on the Plymouth business.
Ministry were terribly mauled by the several speeches of the
Dukes of Eichmond and Grafton, Lord Shelburne, &c., &c., and
they were most weakly defended whilst I staid in the House upon
the argument of exposing your situation to your enemies by such
enquiries. I hurried home to write, fearing I should be too late
for the post. I have been all round the town canvassing this
morning, but unfortunately found scarce any at home. I am

243

sorry to inform your Grace that Mr. York has personally waited on
the Duchess of Gloucester, and I find her Royal Highness expects
that your Grace should apply to her either in person or by letter.
This I had from Admiral Keppel. Tommy Townshend this
morning at my request waited on the Duke of Gloucester, who
promised to speak to the Duchess, but I find from all your Grace's
own application is expected. I have found out through Hagar
several votes which I will get to-morrow if possible, and if I can
get somebody to tie off with me, I will be with your Grace the
next day. The Duchess of Beaufort and Lady Elizabeth Comp-
ton I had the pleasure of paying my respects to this morning, and
they are very well. The post calls. I have only time to add my
most humble respects."

Lord Gboege Hbnby Cavendish to the Duke [of Eutland] .

[1780, June 7.] Wednesday night. London. — " All Newgate
was burned last night and every prisoiier let loose. The King's
Bench and Debtors' and likewise Bridewell, I understand, have
experienced the same this evening. They last night burned Lord
]\Iansfield's house and destroyed everything in it, all his papers,
&c. The Guards fired on the mob and killed six of them and a
woman. They then went to Caen Wood, but the soldiers went
time enough to save it. They have burned several houses in the
course of the day. The magistrates have refused to act any
longer. The Privy Council have therefore established a kind of
martial law by ordering the military to act as they shall think
proper. The Guards have just fired on the mob by the Mansion
House and killed forty or fifty of them. We have about ten
thousand men in and about London, some encamped in Hyde
Park."

Thomas Thoeoton to the Duke [of Rutland].

1780, June 7. Arlington Street. — " After I wrote to your
Grace last night never was there so riotous a night. I stayed
with Lord Rockingham till three this morning. No attempt was
made there or at Sir George Savile's, but Lord Mansfield's house
was burnt to the ground and all his furniture, books, &c., &c.,
&c. Newgate was broke open, the prisoners set at liberty and
the jail burnt. The prisoners released from the Fleet, New
Prison, etc., &c. The Guards fired at Lord Mansfield's and killed
six men and one woman, and that irritated them to burn the
house. To-day there has been mobs in various parts, and Caen
Wood was said to be in danger, but I hear that it is safe as yet.
Several troops are arrived in and near town, and martial law is
proclaimed, as the civil magistrates do not dare to do their duty.
I fear this will be a horrid night, as I suppose the soldiers are to
act with vigor. The enclosed handbill has been distributed. I
am happy that the Duchess and you are out of town. Your
Grace and the Duchess may depend upon my taking all possible
care of Lady Katharine, who is better to-day. I hope this house

244

is safe, I know of none safer ; I would otherwise remove Lady
Katharine to it. I once thought of Knightsbridge, but there is no
reasoning, perhaps that is not so safe. This country never saw
such a time, and no one can tell what the next twenty-four hours

may produce." , , „

Postscript.—" There are as many melancholy faces as were on
Black Friday. Indeed there is the utmost danger."

-John Mberill, Mayor of Cambridge, to the
Duke [of Rutland].

1782, Feb. 5. Cambridge.— I am desired, as chairman of a
Committee for rebuilding our Town Hall, to apply for your assist-
ance. We should not have troubled you, had not your brother,
Lord Eobert Manners, our representative, been absent on
service. Signed.

Sir Joshua Pieynolds to .

1782, June (i. — I shall certainly execute the commission
which his Grace has ordered, with the greatest care possible, as
soon as. ever I receive the picture, and hope it will be such a
picture as will give an opportunity of doing something that shall
correspond to his Grace's idea. 1 knew very little of Lord
Robert, but was very well acquainted with his Grace's great
affection to him. I therefore felt and sympathised with him, I
really think in losing him we have paid the full value of what we
have got ; it is the general opinion that we have lost the most
promising youth in the whole navy, and I am sure from what I
saw of him and the letters I have seen from him, I am most
perfectly inclined to confirm their opinion. I beg my most
respectful compliments to their Graces.

C. F. Greville to [the Duke of Rutland].

1782, Oct. 18. Steephill, Isle of Wight.— "I must take this
opportunity of informing you, that I took the charge of your
Murillo. The apparent state of that picture was much better than
the former one, which Biondi repaired ; you must however
remember that this picture was brought out by a varnish, which
Peters did not venture to give to the other, and this circumstance
added infinitely to the difficulty of making a good job of the
present work. The picture had been much injured, the canvas
tore half across the principal figures and much repainted.
The parts which were not repainted had been cleaned so
unmercifully that it was quite out of harmony, and it was
very injudicious to put an oil varnish on a picture in that
state, for the difference of a spirit varnish and an oil varnish is
that the one will wash off with a little spirit of turpentine, and
the other is scarcely to be removed without taking also the colors
off the picture. I am convinced you will not repent having it
done ; it will be the best of the three, and I agreed with him for
little more than half what the other cost you in repairing. I

The Duke of Beaufort to Messrs. Deanb & Co.,
Temple Bar.

1789, May 22. — Order to pay Sir Joshua Reynolds or bearer
7802L, being the amount of two mortgages and interest and a
separate account, and place it to the account of the executors of
Charles, late Duke of Rutland.

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland].

1793, Dec. 13. H.M.S. Ganges, Torbay.— " On my arrival
last night in this Bay, I was honoured with your Grace's letter of
the 25th of last month, and feel much flattered by the kind
manner in which you therein invite me to a free and friendly
correspondence with you in future, which I accept with the
utmost satisfaction, and will not at any time fail of communica-
ting to you whatever may occur in our fleet that may be worthy
of notice. I am however extremely concerned to open my
corresjDondence with your Grace by acquainting you that the
intelligence you received respecting our fleet ' having captur'd
eight sail of the enemy's line-of-battle ships, and six frigates ' is
unfounded ; although it is true that on the 18th of last month we
saw six sail of French line-of-battle ships, two frigates, and a brig,
right to windward of us in the S.E. quarter. Lord Howe, imme-
diately on discovering them to be the enemy's ships, made the
signal to the six best sailing ships of his fleet to chase them, to-
gether with several of the frigates' signals ; and soon after gave

246

chase himself with the whole of the fleet. The enemy were
between nine and ten miles from us, when we began to chase at
i past 9 in the morning, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon we had
gained very considerably on them, at least four miles, and one of
our frigates (the Latona) got up within gunshot of then- rear ships
and fired very frequently at the Tiger, an 84-gun ship, and
received some shot in return. It was a dark, squally, tem-
pestuous afternoon, and night then setting m very rapidly.
The chase was continued all night, but a cha»ge of wind hap-
pening together with a very dark black squall, they_ availed
themselves of it, and bore away ; our fleet, not seeing that
manceuvre, kept to the wind, by which means they lost sight
of the enemy; this was about 11 o'clock at night. The Bel-
leroplwn (Commodore Pasley) with three frigates, being far
ahead of the fleet, however, kept sight of them, and I saw the
Commodore till half past two in the morning, and of consequence
steered with a pressed sail after him; the Audacious (Captain
Parker) and Marlborough (Captain Bermley) were near me at
this time ; but there came on that time so heavy a squall of
wind, that, in order to save my masts, I was obliged to reef, as did
(I learnt afterwards) the two other ships. I still continued to
steer on that point of the compass in which I had last seen the
Commodore ; but never saw him afterwards ; and at dawn of
day I found myself quite out of the fleet, and the Audacious only
with me ; at 10 in the morning I discovered three of the fleet,
with signals flying for recalling ships from chase ; and at noon I
saw the remainder of Lord Howe's fleet, which I join'd. I then
learnt, that two of our ships the Montague and Vanguard, had
carried away their masts and parted company ; and I forgot to
mention, that in the early part of the chase two of our fastest
sailing ships, the Defence and Russells, when they were gaining
fast on the enemy, were disabled, the former by carrying away
all her topmasts, the latter by springing her foretopmasts.
We continued for several days after looking out for the
enemy's ships, by spreading ourselves as far asunder as
signals could be seen, but never saw more of them. Some
time after we joined the Commodore and frigates, who
inform'd us, that he had kept sight of the enemy all night, and
at dawn of day saw four line-of-battle ships within two miles of
him, but as our fleet were not in sight of him, and he had only the
frigates, he was under the necessity of drawing ofi: from them; and
had to cruise in search of our fleet. These are exactly the circum-
stances of that day and night. Had we fortunately had three or four
hours more daylight, not one of them could have escaped us, but
eight hours day only, (indeed we had not more than six, as it was
near 10 o'clock when we began to chase) is not favourable to a pur-
suit, tho' sixteen hours dark and tempestuous night is peculiarly
so to an escape, and was alone the cause of their getting off.

" I cannot describe to your Grace the pain and disappointment
of the fleet the next morning at missing the enemy, nor Lord
Howe's anxiety for his own disabled ships which were left
astern in the chase.

247

" It was an unlucky day, but every thing, that could be done,
was, and it affords me great pleasure to learn your Grace's
sentiments of our noble Admiral ; he is indeed an excellent one,
as you style him, and the greatest our service ever produc'd.

" I imagine we shall shortly be ordered to Portsmouth to repair
our ships, most of them being greatly in want thereof. In that
event, I shall apply for leave to go to London, and will not fail
paying my respects to you in Hanover Square. I beg you will
do me the honour to present my respectful compliments to the
Duchess of Eutland and my kindest remembrances to your
brother."

Postscript. — " I hope Lord Charles holds his intention of coming
into our service. His name is entered on my ship's books."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland] .

1794, April 16. H.M.B. Casar. Spithead.— " Your letter of
the 8th inst. did not reach me till last night at my return to
Spithead ; having sailed from thence on the 31st of last month ;
but I went no further than St. Helen's, and tho' at so small a
distance from Portsmouth, the weather was so extremely bad, that
I had no communication with the shore or fleet, all the time I lay
at that anchorage ; this will account to you, for my not more
(sic) acknowledging the receipt of your letter.

" Your suggestions are right respecting the commencement of
naval operations (those of the army are already begun) ; for the
signal was made yesterday to prepare for sailing, and I believe
we shall move from hence on Sunday next at furthest, with the
strongest and best appointed fleet the country ever yet sent
out.

" In a few days, I will give you an exact list (as you desire) of
the ships that compose our fleet, with the line of battle, which is
not issued; at the same time, I must request that you will keep
it to yourself, as Lord Howe does not wish to have it publicly
known. Should we be fortunate enough to meet the French
fleet, there can be no doubt but that we shall defeat them, which
would operate more effectually to put an end to the war, than a
dozen victories ashore. The French at present care not how
many men they lose or destroy ; they easily replace and recruit
their armies, but ships and fleets are with time and difficulty
form'd ; let us only destroy their present fleet, and long will it
be ere they can possess another.

"I am happy to hear that the report of the King of Prussia's
desertion of the general cause is without foundation ; tho' I
own, I have long looked with a jealous eye towards him. His
army is at present of the utmost importance to the Allies, and if
money is his object, it would be folly in the extreme to withhold
it from him, tho' one cannot admire the principle by which
he is actuated. You will oblige me much by communicating to-
me occasionally any information you may receive from the
Continent, as you have, through our friend Colonel Manners,
the best means of obtaining such as can be depended on, and you

248

may rely on my giving you a faithful account of all naval
operations. When I send you a list of our fleet, I will accompany
it with a list of all ships in commission, as well of the line as of
frigates, with their present destination.

" We have only eaptur'd three frigates from the enemy since
the commencement of the war, except those taken by Lord Hood
in the Mediterranean, an exact list of which I have never been
able to obtain, but expect one soon. I am obliged to conclude
this sooner than I intended, as my signal is now flying on board
Lord Howe's ship, and I am obliged to attend his lordship
immediately ; but I will very shortly write to you again."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Exjtland].

1794, April 80. H.M.S. Ccesar. St. Helen's.—" We left Spit-
head in such a hurry last Friday, that I really had not time to
write to you, nor could I perform my promise of sending you our
line of battle, even if I had had time, for it was not given out
till we sailed. The wind backing round to the westward on
Sunday morning obliged us to put back to this anchorage, which
furnishes me with an opportunity of complying with your wishes,
and you will herewith receive the line of battle, and order of
sailing ; which I again entreat you not to make public. It is a
noble fleet, well manned and fit to go round and bid defiance to
the world. I wish it had suited your convenience to have come
and looked at us, prior to our sailing ; I should have had great
pleasure in showing you the fleet, and I am sure you would have
been pleased in seeing it.

" Our success at Martinique, as well as on the Continent, are
happy omens of future success, and I have no doubt but that the
next packet from the West Indies will bring an account of
Guadaloupe and St. Lucia being in our possesion. The latter
island, I trust, we shall never again part with. It was a sad
mistake in 1782 giving it up to Prance, for I can asstire you, of
my own knowledge, that Eodney's victory of the 12th of April
would not have haiDpened, had we not been in possession of
St. Lucia ; it is so advantageously situated as to overlook and
command Fort Eoyal Bay in Martinique, the rendezvous of the
French fleets, and we saw them getting under sail the morning
of the 8th, which caused a pursuit of them, and victory followed.
I have just heard that Admiral Macbride's squadron has captured
three French frigates ; but it has blown so hard ever since our
return as to preclude all communication with the shore, so that
we have had no authentic intelligence of it ; I hope, however, that
it is true. If it is, you will see the account of it in the papers.

"You may rely on my writing to you by every opportunity from
sea, and giving you every information of moment.

" We take the East India fleet, the Mediterranean, Spanish and
Portuguese convoys with us, and shall sail very few short of three
hundred ships. The moment the wind comes to the northward
and eastward we are off. God send the French fleet may be out.
I trust few of them will (if we see them) ever see their own ports
again."

249

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland].

1794, June 3. H.M.S. Casar, at Sea. — "I have only a moment's
time to congratulate you on the most important and greatest vic-
tory that was ever obtain'd at sea. We had a severe action with
the French fleet on the 29th of last month ; but the second, which
took place on the first instant proved decisive, and they were
completely beaten. Six ships we are bringing home, two were
sunk, five dismasted, which the enemy tow'd off ; and the rest in
a most shatter'd condition. No language can express the gallant,
noble conduct of Lord Howe ; his indefatigable diligence in
searching for the enemy, the moment he heard of their having
left Brest. His zeal and ardor after having once seen them, and
his never leaving them a day's respite, till he had defeated them,
are such testimonials of his worth, that I really look up to him
with admiration. Thank God, he has escaped unhurt."

The Same to the Same.

1794, August 16. Portsmouth. — " I am honoured with your
kind letter of Friday's date, and return you my sincere thanks for
it.. But although you acknowledge the receipt of the packets I
sent you, you make no mention of the long letter that accom-
panied them, which I hope you also received.

" You appear to have misunderstood a passage in my narrative,
and which you now desire me more fully to explain to you ;
namely, ' whether, when I ordered the signal of inability and
tacking to be made together, they were made or not ' ? as you
continue to say: — 'People say it was not.' The signal was
clearly and distinctly made; repeated by the Queen (my second
astern) to the Queen Charlotte ; and acknowledged to be seen
by the Commander-in-chief. So that you have it in your
power fully to refute the report of its not having been made ;
but I could wish as little as possible to be said until the court
martial is over.

" The narratives of all my officers are copying for your Grace,
and when ready, shall be transmitted to you. They are
infinitely more strong in my favour than my own, as things are
mentioned there that would ill become me to say.

"I will also transmit you a copy of my correspondence with the
Admiralty, together with Lord Howe's charges, and shall
not. fail to communicate to you every circumstance that arises
until the final issue of the business is settled ; convinced as I am
of the very interested part you take in my welfare, and of which,
I can now only say, I shall ever retain the most grateful
sense.

"You say in a part of your letter, that in my narrative it
is mentioned : — ' I ordered the inability and tacking signals
to be made, and tacked.' This must be a mistake; for
I did not tack, because I could not. The inability signal,
and tacking signal with it, was made, to tell the Com-
mander-in-chief, I could not tack ; but I wore ship, which is

250

a different movement, tho' answers the same purpose as tacking.
I am, however, preparing plans and views of the fleet m its
several positions during action which, when complete, shall also
he sent to you.

"I am sorry to hear, that Colonel Manners continues
yet too unwell to attend his duty, but hope that ere
long he will be quite recovered. I do not like the appearance of
affairs on the Continent ; I think at present they wear but a
gloomy view, and I much fear a rupture with the Danes, who
have a fleet equipped for sea beyond any idea I had form'd of
their strength. Be assur'd they have thirty sail-of-the-lme ready
for service, and they are exasperated highly against us for the
detention of their vessels : I hope, however, and trust, that the
fall of Robespierre and his party may ultimately be productive
of good to us and to all Europe."

Postscript. — " It has appeared from the returns of the officers
of the Dock-yards, that the Casar sustain'd more damage in action
than any of the fleet, two ships only excepted. Consequently she
must have been more engaged.

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Rutland].

1794, August 18. Portsmouth. — " Believe me, my dear Duke,
that neither want of confidence in you, or doubt of your friend-
ship have occasioned my long silence, for I have the most
implicit faith in both. But the truth is, I meant to have con-
tinued silent to your G-race, and to all my friends, until the court
martial I have so strongly solicited should have decided on my
conduct, and have cleared my character from the cruel and
unjust attacks that have been so wantonly thrown on it. How-
ever, as the Admiralty have now assured me that my request
shall be granted as soon as public service will admit of it,
which it will not until the return of the fleet from sea, I no
longer intended to preserve my silence ; but had determin'd
to inform you of every circumstance from the beginning of
the action until the present moment ; for which purpose, my
narrative of the proceedings of the Ccesar together with those of
my officers and people, also copies of my correspondence with
Lord Howe, are now preparing for your Grace's inspection ; and
they will be forwarded to you the moment they are ready. You
will then see, that the Ccesar, did not only do her duty in the
two actions, but did considerably more than many others ; but
much as you will see there, infinitely more must necessarily come
out on my court martial; and I fear some of those who are
thanked, will find themselves but ill at ease. However, it is not
my intention to criminate any ; all I want is to be perfectly and
honorably acquitted myself. No other will satisfy me, and if I
can obtain that, without its hurting the feelings of others (much
as my own have been wounded) I shall be happy.

" Thank you most sincerely for your very kind letter and
promises of friendship, which, dear as it is to me, I no longer
wish to preserve, than I shall be found to deserve it ; and allow

251

me to assure you that death would be infinitely more welcome to
me, than to be thought unworthy of the friendship of the house
of Manners, a name that has ever been, from my first knowledge
of it, dearer to me than any other."

Postscript. — " I send your Grace by a careful hand my
narrative, and copies of Lord Howe's letters to me, and mine to
him."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland] .

1794, Sept. 3. Portsmouth. — "It has not been in my power
to procure for you more early copies of the narratives of my
officers, as the originals were in London, and in possession of a
gentleman, who had been obliged to leave it for a time ; he has
this 'day only sent me the copies, and I herewith transmit them
to your Grace, together with copies of the Secretary of the
Admiralty's letters to me, and Lord Howe's charges ; by which
you will see that his lordship grounds his opinion on the reports
of others. Strong as the narratives of my officers are, I have the
satisfaction to assure you, they are by no means so much
so as their testimonies will be on my trial, and, in addition
to others, will be those of my inferior officers and seamen;
and it will appear, that on the 29th the Gmsar beat the
Jemajipe, an 80-gun ship out of the line, and so much,
that she could not come into the action of the 1st of June,
and in the latter action, the Ccesar beat the two van ships of the
enemy out of the line. Lord Howe now says he is sorry for his
supplementary letter, and that he was urged to write it. Your
Grace will perceive that I write perfectly confidential to you.
The fleet sailed this morning only from St. Helen's, and I shall
be all anxiety for its return, in order to have the court martial
over. And indeed I feel very unhappy at being out of employ at
this busy and mteresting period, when every man's utmost
services are necessary. Till this moment, from my first going to
sea, I never was one week out of service, and to be so now, hurts
me extremely, but I must bear it. I am going to Bath to-morrow
with my family for a few weeks, and will thank your Grace to
direct to me at Sir John Laforey's, Bath (Mrs. Molloy's father)
at whose house I shall be.

" I by no means like the situation of affairs on the Continent ;
and I have most serious apprehensions for our West India
Islands. The French islands, that we have taken, I believe we
shall lose more rapidly than we gained them, and our own are in
the most, critical state, tho' I hope the reinforcements, that are
now going out, will be there in time to save them ; but they must
be expeditious. I am happy to hear that you are so pleasantly
situated as you describe in your letter to me : I have heard
much of the beauty of its situation, but never saw Eamsgate but
from the ocean in sailing by it. As you seem to be so very fond
of the water, I suppose you are frequently on it, and I ajn.
not without hope that some time hence I shall have the honor of
seeing you aboard my ship."

252

Postscript.—" The drawings of the several positions _ of the
fleet in action are not yet finished ; when they are, I will send
your Grace a copy of them.

" I send the narratives &c. in a box to Hanover Square.'

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland].

1795, Jan. 4. H.M.S. CV<?.sar. Spithead.— "I this morning only
was made happy by the receipt of your kind letter of the 25th of
last month ; having been in London some time, to push forward
if possible my court martial, which I wrote for _ near seven
months past, and have been sohciting ever since with unremit-
ting assiduity. I had a day fix'd for its commencement, but the
report of the enemy's fleet being at sea has unfortunately for
me caused a longer delay of the trial, as it is of necessity our
own fleet should put to sea after them, and in order to protect
our great West India outward-bound convoy, and God only
knows, when my court martial will now come on, tho' the
Admiralty have assured me, that it shall take place as soon as
ever public service will admit of it. To this unavoidable delay
I must submit, painful as it is to me, and it is no small addition
to my wounded feelings, to learn by a letter I this morning
received from the Admiralty, that I am again to quit the
command of the Gasar, until she returns from the cruise she is
going out on. You will have seen by the papers, that I
resum'd the command of the Casar on the 16th of last month.

" I must own I do not feel myself very handsomely dealt with
by the Admiralty on this occasion, and I have some Serious
apprehensions from the conduct of my people, when it shall be
communicated to them, that I am again to quit them, for their
attachment to me is beyond any thing I ever heard of, and when
I was going on board, the very instant they saw my barge, they
mann'd ship of their own accord, and gave three cheers, and on
my going into the ship, they repeated them, and said such things
to me as I cannot repeat, but which greatly affected me. I mention
these circumstances to your Grace as a friend, and to show you
the sense my officers and people entertain of my conduct in the
late engagements. You will also be pleased to hear, that I am
in possession of authentic copies of the Eeports on which Lord
Howe ' grounded his opinion of my not having done my utmost
to defeat the enemy.'

" These very Eeports contradict each other in the strongest
manner, and one of them pays me the highest compliment.
Officers are now perpetually sending me messages that they are
ready to come forward and bear testimony to the gallant conduct
of the Ccesar, and every day brings to light new matter in my
favor. Truth is all I want to appear, and when it does, I trust that
the Ccesar's conduct will come out as one of the foremost on
those days. I did not write to you, my dear Duke, for a long
time ; as I went away from hence with all my family on the
fleet, sailing last August, and sought a situation remote from all
professional acquaintance, and thereby precluded the possibility

258

of even illiberal people saying that I had attempted in the
absence of the fleet, to make a party, or make my own story
good at the expence of others ; and where I went fm-nished me
with nothing worth troubling your Grace about : this was the true
cause of my silence ; but I flew to Portsmouth immediately on
the return of the fleet, and have ever since been eagerly solicit-
ing from the Admiralty, that my trial might come on ; and in my
last letter, I offered to meet the trial with such evidence only as
could accidentally be collected on the spot, wishing rather to
forego the advantages of strong testimony I could bring forward,
than any longer be deprived of that justice I feel I must receive
from a fair enquiry into my conduct. But it cannot be granted
at present. Knowing your Grace's friendship for me, and
honor'd by it as I feel myself, I am bound to communicate every
thing relative to this business to you, and as soon as the trial is over
you shall have fair copies of every letter that has passed on the
subject, as well as copies of the minutes of the trial, Eeports &c.

" I read in the papers of your Grace's being admitted of
Trinity College, Cambridge, and am happy to find that you like
the place so much. I am also happy to learn that Colonel
Manners is quite well, but am by no means surpris'd at his
writing in a melancholy style ; and I fear he will have more
cause to write so, for my apprehensions for the British Army on
the Continent are truly serious. I wish with all my heart, they
were safe on shore in Old England.

"I agree fully with you in thinking that the troubles of Europe
are but beginning, and in our own island they wear an alarming
aspect.

" The late state trials were unfortunate circumstances, and will,
I fear, be productive of much evil. Had those men been tried
for seditious practices instead of high treason, not one of them
could have escaped transportation for life, and the country
would have been happily rid of them. Now, I fear, they will try
how much further they can go."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Dtjkb [of Eutland].

1795, March 22. Cork Street, London. — "Ever since I saw
you, I have been in town pressing with all my exertions the
Board of Admiralty to bring forward my court martial ; but on
account of the illness of Lord Howe it has been delayed. I then
wrote a long importunate letter to the Board, stating at length
the peculiar hardships of my situation, and the danger I ran of
being deprived of the testimony of my officers by longer delay,
as they might, in the event of the Ccesar's going to sea again, fall
in action, and earnestly entreated the Admiralty to order the
trial, notwithstanding Lord Howe's illness, for as his lordship
had exhibited no specific charge whatever against me in his own
language, but refers solely to the Eeports of the Admirals Graves,
Gardner andPasley, those Eeports containing the specific charges,
I presumed that I might be prosecuted on them by the Judge-
Advocate or Captain of the Fleet, or indeed, by any person their

254

lordships might direct to appear as the prosecutor. I wrote a
similar letter to Lord Howe, urging him strongly to give his
consent thereto. The Admiralty gave in to my reasoning on the
question ; not so Lord Howe, for he answered them and me by
saying that he ' deemed his attendance essentially necessary at
the trial, but that his health was such as to make him wholly
unable to say when it would be in his power to attend.' The
Admiralty then wrote to direct his lordship to give them the
earliest notice when he should be able to attend, that the trial
might proceed. Thus rests for the present this tedious, and to
me most cruel business. The Admiralty have done all in their
power, the matter is now wholly with Lord Howe ; but as the
season for active service is fast approaching, I am fearful that
the fleet may again put to sea before my trial can be had, and
God only knows then when it may be brought forward.

"I am getting copies of my correspondence with the Admiralty
and Lord Howe for your Grace, but they are too voluminous to
send ; I will therefore leave them in Hanover Square for you.
I want words to express to your Grace, the feelings and agitation
of my mind on the appearance of yet longer delay to this affair.
It is now upwards of nine months that I. wrote for and have been
continually pressing an opportunity to vindicate my character
from a cruel and unjust aspersion thrown on it ; suffering all
that time under the weight of unanswered calumny. I am per-
suaded that there is nothing my enemies dread so much as the
court martial, and every effort they can devise will be used
by them to prevent it. Why Lord Howe gives into it,
I am yet to learn. I will not take up more of your Grace's
time on my own affairs, but I cannot close this letter without
lamenting, which I do most seriously the unhappy circumstances
that have arisen in Ireland, and which, I fear, will be productive
of the most important evils to both countries. England, I am
persuaded, will long have cause to regret her having sent the late
Lord Lieutenant over to that country. His proceedings appear
to be wholly unaccountable."

Postscript. — " I long to pay my respects to the Duchess and to
your Grace's family, but under the cloud I at present am, I own I
want resolution."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland] .

1705, April 13. Portsmouth. — "I did myself the honour of
writing to you some weeks past, and addressed my letter to your
Grace at the University, Cambridge, which, I hope, you received
safe.

" The intent of this is to inform you, that what I have for such
a length of time been soliciting, I am at last likely to obtain —
my court martial, which is now to come forward in a very short
time, and I am sure your Grace will rejoice with me at it.

"I have had much correspondence with Lord Howe on this
subject, urging him in the strongest manner to bring it forward.
It has hitherto been delay'd on account of his illness, as in his

255

letter to the Admiralty, he says he ' deems his presence essentially
necessary at my trial ' ; but now he has given up that point, and
the Captain of the Fleet is to appear as the prosecutor. The
day is not absolutely fixed, but as soon as it is, I will
inform you.

" Having many letters to write, and much business on my
hands at this time, I must beg of you to excuse the brevity of
this letter."

A. P. MoLLOY to the Duke [of Eutland].

1795, April 26. Portsmouth. — " I have only time to acquaint
you, that the trial I have for such a length of time been so
anxiously soliciting is fixed to come on to-morrow. Knowing
your Grace's wishes i-especting me, I could not dispense with
giving j^oa this information."

The Same to the Same.

1795, August 11. Eichmond Hill. — "I was honored with
your letter this morning from Exeter, and feel greatly obliged to
you for it, as you can have but little time to spare at present. I
am glad to find that you saw so much of, and was so well
entertained at Portsmouth, and that Commissioner Saxton was
so attentive to you. I wish my very worthy friend Sir Peter
Parker, the commanding officer at that port, had known of your
being there. I am persuaded he would have been happy to have
made your situation agreeable to you, and would have shown
your Grace every possible attention and respect. I suppose ere
this you will have seen the Dockyard at Plymouth, which, tho'
not so extensive as that at Portsmouth, is more compact and in
many respects preferable to it ; particularly for the readiness in
getting off the stores and the necessary for the equipment of
ships. It has, as you will have observed, a long extent of piers
and jetties, with but a narrow depth, consequently there is but a
short distance to bring the stores to the boats, whereas at Ports-
mouth the yard is as deep as it is long, and much time is lost in
getting out and bringing stores down. It is nearly one third
larger than Plymouth, the former certainly about 91 acres, the
latter 63; but Plymouth enjoys another great advantage over
Portsmouth in the depth of its water, which is considerably
greater. Fanshaw, the resident commissioner, will, I am persuaded,
have shown your Grace every attention, and pointed out
every thing worth seeing in his department. He was per-
sonally known to your noble father and uncle, and most
highly respected them. The Gun Wharf at Plymouth will have
attracted your notice, it is hewn out of the solid rock, that at
Portsmouth is of made ground, and frequently wants repairs. Mount
Edgcumbe on the opposite side of the water I suppose you visited ;
it is a noble situation, but the owner of it is in a lodging-house

256

opposite to me on this hill. I have never visited Cornwall,
and cannot speak of it, but from its nmnberless mines you will,
I have no doubt, meet with enough to gratify your curiosity.
What is going on in the pohtical line here I know not. People
in general seem dissatisfied with the inactivity of Lord Moira's
army, and I am sorry to hear the enormity of his stalif, which has
also been much complained of. I wish with all my heart one
half of his army was in our West India Islands, for I fear that,
unless some very speedy and strong reinforcements arrive there,
we shall have Antigua only in our possession. Sir John
Laforey's letter to me dated the 1st of July from Martinique
is of the most alarming nature- Every island is threatened by the
enemy, St. Kitt's, I believe, ere this gone, and not a troop to send
to their relief, not having sufficient for the defence of Martinique
(when the whole are assembled) if seriously attacked. However,
he tells me, he will never suffer a ship to lie at anchor a single
moment more than is necessary, and by keeping his ships
constantly cruising between the islands, he may possibly prevent
the landing of the enemy's troops on our islands. They have
armed and regimented their negroes, and have a remarkable fine
army of 20,000 men in Guadaloupe. General Vaughan, just
before he died, proposed following their example in our old
islands, but the scheme was peremptorily forbad, why I know
not. I am persuaded it would have been sound policy to
have done it. You will have seen by the papers Hotham's
letter. He did all that he could do ; had the enemy been
fortunately a little further from the shore, in all probability
few or none of them would have escaped. I am sorry Hotham
is so very ill. Admiral Barrington showed me a letter
from him, wherein he complains much of his health and
has written to be relieved. They cannot send a better man, and
it will be difficult to find his equal. The report is, that the
Emperor has nearly effected a peace with France ; Spain we
know has, and will of course be followed by Sardinia and all the
Italian States, so that we shall not have a place to look in at in
the Mediterranean, Gibraltar excepted ; and I should not be at all
surprised if a rupture between us and Spain very shortly took
place. That Court has acted towards [us] in the most perfidious
manner, and their cession of Hispaniola to France is contrary to
an existing treaty, and may ultimately deprive us of our best
West India Island, Jamaica, from the vast acquisition of power it
gives to France, the whole possession of St. Domingo. People
look forward to a general peace with anxiety and impatience, but
I own I do not see how we can treat with France for one, whilst
they continue the possession of that island or of Holland, and I,
as one, would risk every thing rather than submit to such
disgrace.

"I have written you a long letter, and shall only add to it, by
answering your very obliging enquiries after my health and
that of Mrs. Molloy, that she feels greatly flattered by those
enquiries, and desires me to present her best respects to your
Grace, and that we are most perfectly well."

William Pitt to the Duchess of Eutland.

1797, April 11. Downing Street. — "It seems of the utmost
importance to make every exertion in prevaihng on all our friends
to attend the meeting. Lord Hardwicke has undertaken to do
all that depends upon him, and will himself attend if possible.
Mr. Yorke certainly will. I should therefore be much obliged
to your Grace, if you would write to Mr. Butcher, or any other
person you think proper, to endeavour to procure as full an
attendance as possible, and to co-operate in whatever Lord
Hardwicke or Mr. Yorke bring forward."

George Fillingiiam to Joseph Hill, Esq. at Belvoir Castle.

1798, Dec. 30. Bakewell. — I have altered the disposition I
had made in the rooms at Haddon Hall. The tenants are to
dine on the ground floor, the gentlemen in the room first in-
tended, and the long room is reserved for the ball in the evening.
Most of the gentlemen and ladies invited purpose attending, and
the populace is expected to be very numerous.

"As the whole business would have been very flat without
music, and none being to be had nearer, I have ventured to
engage the military band of the Sheffield Volunteer Corps."
I send you the toasts I suppose will be proper on the occasion.

George Fillingham to [Joseph Hill?]

1799, Jan. 5. Bakewell.— " The celebration of the Duke of
Eutland's birthday at Haddon Hall yesterday went ofl' very well,
and much good humour, pleasure and satisfaction appeared
amongst the gentlemen and ladies, the tenants and the populace.
The number of gentlemen that dined was about seventy, and about
a hundred and thirty gentlemen and ladies attended the ball-
room in the evening, which had a very good effect in promoting
harmony and sobriety. The ball commenced dancing with thirty-
five couples. The tenants who dined were about two hundred
and fifty in number, and the populace were computed to be about
ten thousand. And I believe all who wished to be drunk were
so, which comprised a considerable number, and I do not hear of
the least accident having happened saving a few bruises from
boxing, with the loss of hats and shoes."

Thinking it necessary that some lady should preside at the
ball, I asked Mrs, Thornhill to do so, who willingly acquiesced,

CIRCULAR OF THE COMMISSION.

HISTOKICAL MANUSCEIPTS COMMISSION.

Public Eecord Office,

Chancery Lane,

London, W.C.

Hif3 Majesty the King has been pleased to ratify and
confirm the terms of the Commission issued by Her late
Majesty, appointing certain Commissioners to ascertain what
unpublished MSS. are extant in the collections of private
persons and in institutions which are calculated to throw light
upon subjects connected with the Civil, Ecclesiastical, Literary,
or Scientific History of this country ; and to appoint certain
additional Commissioners for the same purposes. The present
Commissioners are : —

Sir K. Henn Collins, Master of the Eolls ; the Marquess of
Eipon, K.G., the Earl of Crawford, K.T., the Earl of
Eosebery, K.G., the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Edmond
Fitzmaurice, M.P., Lord Alverstone, G.C.M.G., Lord
Hawkesbury, Lord Lindley, Lord Stanmore, G.C.M.G.,
Sir Edward Fry, Mr. John Morley, O.M., M.P., Sir H. C.
Maxwell-Lyte, K.C.B., and Mr. C. H. Firth, M.A., LL.D.

The Commissioners think it probable that you may feel an
interest in this object, and be willing to assist in the attainment
of it ; and with that view they desire to lay before you an outline
of the course which they usually follow.

If any nobleman or gentleman express his willingness to
submit to the Commissioners any unprinted book or collection
of documents in his possession or custody, they will cause an
inspection to be made by some competent person, and should
the MSS. appear to come within the scope of their enquiry, the
owner will be asked to consent to the publication of copies or
abstracts of them in the reports of the Commission, which are
presented to Parliament every Session.

To avoid any possible apprehension that the examination of
papers by the Commissioners may extend to title-deeds or other
documents of present legal value, positive instructions are given
to every person who inspects MSS. on their behalf that nothing
relating to the titles of existing owners is to be divulged, and

that if in the course of his work any modern title-deeds or
papers of a private character chance to come before him, they
are to be instantly put aside, and are not to be examined or
calendared under any pretence whatever.

The object of the Commission is the discovery of unpublished
historical and literary materials, and in all their proceedings
the Commissioners will direct their attention to that object
exclusively.

In practice it has been found more satisfactory, when the
collection of manuscripts is a large one, for the inspector to
make a selection therefrom at the place of deposit and to obtain
the owner's consent to remove the selected papers to the Public
Eecord Office in London or in Dublin, or to the General Eegister
House in Edinburgh, where they can be more fully dealt with,
and where they are preserved with the same care as if they
formed part of the muniments of the realm, during the term of
their examination. Among the numerous owners of MSS. who
have allowed their family papers of historical interest to be
temporarily removed from their muniment rooms and lent to the
Commissioners to facilitate the preparation of a report may be
named : — His Majesty the King, the Duke of Eutland, the
Duke of Portland, the Marquess of SaHsbury, the Marquess
Townshend, the Marquess of Ailesbury, the Marquess of Bath,
the Earl of Dartmouth, the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Egmont,
the Earl of Lindsey, the Earl of Ancaster, the Earl of Lonsdale,
Lord Braye, Lord Hothfield, Lord Kenyon, Mrs. Stopford
Sackville, the Right Hon. P. J. Savile Foljambe, Sir George
Wombwell, Mr. le Fleming, of Rydal, Mr. Leyborne Popham,
of Littlecote, and Mr. Fortescue, of Dropmore.

The cost of inspections, reports, and calendars, and the
conveyance of documents, will be defrayed at the public expense,
without any charge to the owners.

The Commissioners will also, if so requested, give their
advice as to the best means of repairing and preserving any
interesting papers or MSS. which may be in a state of decay.

The Commissioners will feel much obliged if you will
communicate to them the names of any gentlemen who may be
able and willing to assist in obtaining the objects for which this
Commission has been issued.

182 JEFFERSON'S WORKS.

I have enlarged the printed amount by about 15 per cent, to
cover any rise. Still, should it be insufficient, the bookseller is
requested to dock the catalogue to the amount of the remittance.
I have no news to give you ; for I have none but from the
newspapers, and believing little of that myself, it would be an
unworthy present to my friends. But the important news
lies now on your side of the Atlantic. England, in throes
from a trifle, as it would seem, but that trifle the symptom of
an irremediable disease proceeding from a long course of ex-
haustion by efforts and burthens beyond her natural strength;
France agonizing between royalists and constitutionalists ; the
other States of Europe pressing on to revolution and the rights
of man, and the colossal powers of Russia and Austria mar-
shalled against them. These are more than specks of hurri-
cane in the horizon of the world. You, who are young, may
live to see its issue ; the beginning only is for my time. Nor is
our side of the water entirely untroubled, the boisterous sea of
liberty is never without a wave. A hideous evil, the magnitude
of which is seen, and at a distance only, by the one party, and
more sorely felt and sincerely deplored by the other, from the
difliculty of the cure, divides us at this moment too angrily.
The attempt by one party to prohibit willing States from sharing
the evil, is thought by the other to render desperate, by accumu-
lation, the hope of its final eradication. If a little time, however,
is given to both parties to cool, and to dispel their visionary
fears, they will see that concurring in sentiment as to the evil,
moral and political, the duty and interest of both is to concur also
in divining a practicable process of cure. Should time not be
given, and the schism be pushed to separation, it will he for a
short term only ; two or three years trial will bring them back,
like quarrelling lovers to renewed embraces, and increased affec-
tions. The experiment of separation would soon prove to both
that they had mutually miscalculated their best interests. And
even were the parties in Congress to secede in a passion, the so-
berer people would call a convention and cement again the sev-
erance attempted by the insanity of their functionaries. With

COREESPONDENOE. 183

this consoling view, my greatest grief would be for the fatal ef-
fect of such an event on the hopes and happiness of the world.
We exist, and are quoted, as standing proofs that a government,
so modelled as to rest continually on the will of the whole socie-
ty, is a practicable government. Were wfc to break to pieces,
it would damp the hopes and the efforts o!f the good, and give
triumph to those of the bad through the whole enslaved world.
As members, therefore, of the universal society of mankind, and
standing in high and responsible relation with them, it is our
sacred duty to suppress passion among ourselves, and not to blast
the confidence we have inspired of proof that a government of
reason is better than one of force. This letter is not of facts but
of opinions, as you will observe ; and although the converse is
generally the most acceptable, I do not know that, in your situa-
tion, the opinions of your countrymen may not be as desirable to
be known to you as facts. They constitute, indeed, moral facts,
as important as physical ones to the attention of the public fimc-
tionary. Wishing you a long career to the services you may
render your country, and that it may be a career of happiness
and prosperity to yourself, I salute you with affectionate attach-
ment and respect.

TO MR. COKKEA.

MoNTicELLO, October 24, 1 820.

Your kind letter, dear Sir, of October 12th, was handed to me
by Dr. Cooper, and was the first correction of an erroneous be-
lief that you had long since left our shores. Such had been Colo-
nel Randolph's opinion, and his had governed mine. I received
your adieu with feelings of sincere regret at the loss we were to
sustain, and particularly of those friendly visits by which you
had made me so happy. I shall feel, too, the want of your
counsel and approbation in what we are deing and have yet to
do in our University, the last of my mortal cares, and the last
service I can render my country. But turning from myself,
throwmg egotism behind me, and looking to yom' happiness, it
